Turned Down and Thrown Out
I've been told a lot of things from A to Z
called a few names I don't care to repeat.
I recall the words I have heard
as I was turned down & thrown out on the street.
But it's not so bad to be turned down & thrown out
I've been turned down & thrown out with the best.
Willie was thrown out of his own home.
Dolly was told to leave the business.
Elvis wasn't liked at the Opry
Randy didn't make it on a talent contest.
But it's not so bad to be turned down & thrown out
I've been turned down & thrown out with the best.
She left me standing on her welcome mat
but I was no longer welcome at her place.
She told me to get lost, stay away
as she slammed the door in my face.
But it's not so bad to be turned down & thrown out
I've been turned down & thrown out with the best.
Willie was thrown out of his own home.
Dolly was told to leave the business.
Elvis wasn't liked at the Opry
Randy didn't make it on a talent contest.
But it's not so bad to be turned down & thrown out
I've been turned down & thrown out with the best.
