[Verse 1]

Nobody ever thought I'd make it in this town

They all said I should leave my truck, pack, and turn right back around

They said I didn't have what it takes, I needed money and a pretty face

But I just look at them and say...

[Chorus]

I use what I got, take what I get

Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left

Then I give it some more

Keep on climbin' up that mountain

Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat

Past every no, after no, after no, 'til I get a yes

I don't worry 'bout what I'm not

I use what I got, yeah

[Verse 2]

I still got big dreams and a strong heart

I got a lot o' real good friends who helped me get this far

I still got a lot of miles to go, it's a winding, uphill road

But I'll get there the only way I know

[Chorus]

I use what I got, take what I get

Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left

Then I give it some more

Keep on climbin' up that mountain

Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat

Past every no, after no, after no, 'til I get a yes

I don't worry 'bout what I'm not

I use what I got, yeah

[Outro]

Keep on rollin' along, doin' my best

Past every no, after no, after no, 'til I get a yes

I don't worry 'bout what I'm not

No, no, I don't worry 'bout what I'm not

I use what I got, yeah
