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      I use what I got, take what I get   Until I ain't got nothin' left   Then I give it some more   Keep on climbing up that mountain      Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat   Past every no after no after no till I get a yes   I don't worry about what I've done   I use what I got, yeah      I still got big dreams and a strong heart   I got a lot of real good friends   Who helped me get this far   I still got a lot of miles to go   It's a winding, uphill road   And I'll get there the only way I know      I use what I got, take what I get   Until I ain't got nothin' left   Then I give it some more   Keep on climbing up that mountain      Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat   Past every no after no after no till I get a yes   I don't worry about what I've done   I use what I got, yeah      Keep on rollin' along, doin' my best   Past every no after no after no till I get a yes   I don't worry about what I'm not   No, no, I don't worry about what I'm not   I use what I got, yeah
