We All Start Somewhere
He was a military brat, it was hard to make friends
Went to four schools, by the time he was ten
Those times were tough, had to learn to fit in
Had to play the hand he was dealt
His Daddy was always gone or coming home late
His brother was a sinner, his momma was a saint
She'd say "rise up from this
And make something of yourself"
We all start somewhere
And where we go from there
Is a heck of a ride, it can turn on a dime
We're all living on a prayer
They'll be uphill battles you gotta face
Everybody's taken a fall from grace
You gotta get up, get up, get up
Don't worry you'll get there
We all start somewhere
Just shy of seventeen, when he left home
Hit that highway for the great unknown
Took a few wrong turns, met a girl who saved his soul
Gave him the faith to begin again
They got a little apartment, on the wrong side of town
Ramen noodles every night, livin' hand to mouth
She'd say "hey, baby they can't keep us down"
Bet they've come a long way since then
We all start somewhere
And where we go from there
Is a heck of a ride, it can turn on a dime
We're all living on a prayer
They'll be uphill battles you gotta face
Everybody's taken a fall from grace
You gotta get up, get up, get up
Don't worry you'll get there
We all start somewhere
(Bridge) Sometimes we gotta change direction, screw perfection
A bump in the road can be the mother of invention
We all start somewhere
And where we go from there
Is a heck of a ride, it can turn on a dime
We're all living on a prayer
They'll be uphill battles you gotta face
Everybody's taken a fall from grace
You gotta get up, get up, get up
Don't worry you'll get there
We all start somewhere
