Packed me up a suitcase threw a football in my car
Mama don't you go crying for me cause I ain't going far
That little school in Kansas yeah said they'd pay the way
I'd rather take my chances on the field at Murray State
Cause I'm a walk on
Work a little harder than the next one
Nothing in this world I'm gonna run from
Might get beat on like a drum, but Ill keep rising with the sun
Yeah Ill get where I'm going in the long run
Cause I'm a walk on
Back on Mamas front porch, diploma in my hand
They said it'd get me anywhere but the Lord had other plans
Cause he filled my heart with melodies and words I had to say
Living on a long shot that's the only game I play
Cause 'Im a walk on
Work a little harder than the next one
Nothing in this world I'm gonna run from
Might get beat on like a drum, but Ill keep rising with the sun
Yeah Ill get where I'm going in the long run
Cause I'm a walk on
Packed me up a suitcase threw a Gibson in my car
Mama don't you cry for me I'm following my heart
Cause this hometown crowd is growing, more and more each day
Time to take my story up on to a bigger stage
About a walk on
Worked a little harder than the next one
Nothing in this world I'm gonna run from
Might get beat on like a drum, but Ill keep rising with the sun
Yeah Ill get where I'm going in the long run
Cause I'm a walk on
