Quitters Lyrics


Nobody thinks about that stuff, like, how tall he might have been
Or how fast he could've run, they just stare as he rolls by
All they see is a helpless kid with no chance to live a life
If they only knew
He's got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred-yard dash
Climbing up a snow-capped mountain and planting his flag
He believes one day he'll stand up and walk away from that chair
He's got faith, he's got hope and all his Mama's prayers
He's not jaded or bitter
He's gonna leave the giving up for the quitters
The doctors say no way he'll walk, he just smiles and says
I'm gonna prove you wrong, lots of falls and failed attempts
His legs keep giving out but his heart ain't giving in
What they don't know is

He's got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred-yard dash
Pushing Earnhardt down the backstretch in a Daytona draft
He believes one day he'll stand up and walk away from that chair
He's got faith, he's got hope and all his Mama's prayers'
He's not jaded or bitter
He's gonna leave the giving up for the quitters
He pulls himself up on the bars
And takes a long, deep breath
Lifts his right foot off the mat
With all that he has left, he takes a step, one step
Toward his dream of breaking ribbons in a hundred-yard dash
Going long for a touchdown with his buddies out back
He believes one day he'll stand up and walk away from that chair
He's got faith, he's got hope and all his Mama's prayers
He's not jaded or bitter
He's gonna leave the giving up for the quitters, he ain't no quitter

Collin Raye was born Aug. 22, 1960, in DeQueen, AR, with the name Floyd Collin Wray. Both of his parents were musical, and his mother, Lois Wray, was a regionally popular performer in East Texas who opened shows for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in the 1950s. At 7, Raye was onstage with her performing. At 13, he and his older brother Scott formed The Wray Brothers and performed in the roadhouses of the Lone Star State.
