Mama said, girl, keep your head down low, but I never did learn how to move that slow. I got dust on my boots and a chip on my grin, walk in the room like I already got in. They can whisper all night, let ’em talk. I came this far on a cracked sidewalk. [Chorus] Straight to the top, don’t care who saw me fall. Straight to the top, with my back to the wall. Straight to the top, let ’em laugh, let ’em stare. If they won’t make room, I’ll make it up there. [Verse 2] Boardroom boys with their polished shoes, barroom queens with something to prove. I’ve been both broke and overdressed, smiled through teeth with a boot on my chest. I don’t need lucky, I don’t need fair, I just need a crack and a little more air. You can lock that door, I’ll take the stairs, cussing each step like a answered prayer. [Chorus] Straight to the top, don’t care who saw me fall. Straight to the top, with my back to the wall. Straight to the top, let ’em laugh, let ’em stare. If they won’t make room, I’ll make it up there. [Bridge] I know the cost. I know the climb. I’ve paid in years, now I’m paying in time. [Final Chorus] Straight to the top, don’t care who saw me fall. Straight to the top, with my back to the wall. Straight to the top, let ’em laugh, let ’em stare. If they won’t make room, I’ll make it up there. Straight to the top. I’ll make it up there.
