(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]
One in a million, mama
That's good enough for me
And you can't make me stay here anyway
Now that I'm eighteen

With everything she had in a duffle bag
She set out to show the world
She was more than just a homecoming queen
And daddy's little girl

[Verse 2]
In a cloud of dust on a Greyhound bus
She crossed the Cook County line
Slept all the way to Nashville
Big dreams running through her mind

She said, "Sure as I'm breathing
I'm going to be a big star someday"
Yeah, she was jumping right into the deep end
On a leap of sweet blind faith

[Chorus]
It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about trying
[Verse 3]
It's been six years since she left home
And she hasn't made it big yet
Oh, but there's no second guessing baby
She’s got no regrets

She still works the late shift down at the
Greasy Spoon cafe
When she brings you out your milkshake
You just might hear her say

[Chorus]
"It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about trying"

[Bridge]
It's not whether you win or lose
It's getting in the game

[Chorus]
It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about trying
(It's about hoping)
(It's about dreaming)
(It's about never not believing)
It's all about trying

(It's about taking a walk out on the wire)
(And never looking down)
It's all about trying

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
(It's all about trying)

It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing

It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down (na, na, na)

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming (na, na, na)
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire (na, na, na)
And never looking down
