Rootin’ For You Songtext
von Emily Nenni

You may not feel like a first place prize
The color ribbon you are is the look in your eyes
The greatest table setting at the county fair
You thought they overlooked you in their judge′s chair

Before you go puttin' down your beautiful size
And hatin′ on the natural circumference of your thighs
Too round, too short, too tall, too slight
Try lookin' at you with a pair of doting eyes

I'm not just rooting for everybody
But I′m rooting for you (I′m rooting, rooting for you)
I don't wanna see you get to where you want to
But I′m feeling the way you are gonna do

Well, a noose and a holler and a front row honey
Hoping that you take all of the fat cat's money

I′m not just rooting for everybody
But I'm rooting for you


Before you go a′ changin' from your boots to your hat
May I remind you there ain't no one lookin′ like that
How cool, cool, cool to be one of a kind
Not just talkin′ 'bout your looks, I′m also talkin' ′bout your mind
You may not ever be met with applause
Or understanding what they're talking about your love
Ain′t no point in doin' it for the medals
But I'll be over here tossin′ you the rose petals

I′m not just rooting for everybody
But I'm rooting for you (I′m rooting, rooting for you)
I don't wanna see you get to where you are doing
But I′m feeling the way you are gonna do

Well, a noose and a holler and a front row honey
Hoping that you take all of the fat cat's money
Well, a noose and a holler and a front row honey
Hoping that you take all of the fat cat′s money
Anywhere you're headed I'm running alongside
Any one of the way you′re gonna pass by

I′m not just rooting for everybody
But I'm rooting for you (I′m rooting, rooting for you)
I'm not just rooting for everybody
But I′m rooting for you
