Lyrics
VERSE
He was out there all alone, staring down a big fish
When he knew it was on his line; he had nothing but one wish
He tied it to his boat to get it home, but the sharks got all but the bones
First PRE-CHORUS
Now he never gave up; he just went back for more
Watch and see; I’m gonna be just like him
CHORUS
I’m just like that old man in the sea
Hell, yes, that’s a hard thing to be
I’m just a guy who came from nowhere
Started from nothing; took what was there
And I’m not giving up without a fight
VERSE
I was out there feeling all alone, in the dark, then you came along
When I felt you were mine all mine, believing commitment was strong
I asked you for together forever, but you rejected my love song
Second PRE-CHORUS
Seems you still have some thoughts for someone else
But I’ll make you see love should be me
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
Sometimes love tries so hard to slip away
But if it’s real, it’s worth fighting for
Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, I started from nothing; took what was there
And I’m not giving up without a fight
