Unknown carbon copy Pink gown doctor's coming Cold, but she was kind enough Gave a halfway smile Said I've got a while So mama please lighten up It's all just an uphill battle You shoulder the brunt because You wish it wasn't mine But I'd take it every time You've given the best you could give And I know that I wouldn't change it now Oh nothing takes me down Said that's how your dad felt Guilty 'bout the hand dealt Handed down with our name Wish you wouldn't take the blame For every strand of DNA And every cell that replicates It's all just an uphill battle You shoulder the brunt because You wish it wasn't mine But I'd take it every time You've given the best you could give And I know that I wouldn't change it now Oh nothing takes me down Oh nothing takes me down Nothing takes me down And it won't change my plans I'll still live like I'm dying But I won't let it take me down It's all just an uphill battle Because you wish it weren't mine But I'd take it every time You've given the best you could give And I know that I wouldn't change it now Oh nothing takes me down Oh nothing takes me down Oh nothing takes me down
