One in a million, mama

That's good enough for me

And you can't make me stay here anyway

Now that I'm 18.

With everything she had in a duffel bag

She set out to show the world

She was more then just a homecoming queen

And daddy's little girl.

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 gonna be a big star someday"

'cause she was jumping right into the deep end

On a leap of sweet blind faith.

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 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 late shift down

At the greasy spoon cafe

When she brings you out your milkshake

You just might hear her say.

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 not whether you win or lose

It's getting in the game.

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.

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.
