Underdog

by Derek Lee Goodreid

/

about

Underdog is a powerful and anthemic song about overcoming adversity. The song's lyrics focus on working through challenging times and finding the strength to be an overcomer. I wrote the song as a way to encourage those facing difficulties in their own lives, hoping that it will inspire and motivate them to confront their struggles and come out stronger on the other side.
it features the legendary Psychobilly, Rockabilly & Jazz guitarist Adrian Whyte on Lead Guitar, Brandon Fox on banjo, Stephen K Donnelly on upright bass.

lyrics

It's not the size of the dog in the fight
it's the size of the fight in the dog
I've been beaten
Kicked when I’m down
Told I would always lose
I’m an underdog

Takes a lot of grit to rise to the top
Hard Work beats talent every time
Well I've been hit
I've been spat upon
Told I was nothing
I am an underdog

An underdog, a mongrel mutt
Scars are as long as my memory holds on
I am stronger than you think
I can take it to the brink
swim i never sink
For I am an underdog

My bite is worse than my bark
And I won't go gentle into the dark
I will fight with all my heart
take no shit, I never quit
Use my wits and let it rip
I am an underdog

A flea bitten, salty, no good underdog
