Shout out to my coach
Heard he's coaching some other girls now
That doesn't hurt I'll admit
Because I heard he mentions me every once and again now
I hope their getting coached well
I'm sure they are, I know you
Hope they feel like superstars
Hope they know their coach could win the Voice
So I'm saying thank you for all the times you pushed me
You wanted me to be good
And I love you for all of it
I hoped you loved me by the way
I tried really hard you know
Did the best I could to please you
Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You pushed me so I could never break
It made me who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You're still all the way up there
And I'm still tumbling on the ground
Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You pushed me but I refused to crack
It made who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You're 6 foot 5
I'm always barreling on the ground

I never deleted the video of you singing
Or the pictures from the tournaments on my phone
I took all that I could get
But they won't be the memories I have
I'm living my own life now
No longer 15 anymore
I have my own dorm
I enjoy going to the U
And I'm saying thank you for all the times that you pushed me
You wanted me to be strong
And I love you for all of it
I hope you loved me by the way
I tried really hard you know
Did the best I could to please you
Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You pushed me so I could never break
It made me who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You're still all the way up there
And I'm still tumbling on the ground
Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You pushed me but I never broke
It made who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You're 6 foot 5
I'm always barreling on the ground

Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You pushed so well
It made me who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You stand so tall
But I still wouldn't be half your height
Even if I wasn't on the ground
Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You taught me so much
It made who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You're my favorite coach
Even if one girl said you laughed at me when I fell on the ground
Shout out to my coach
You're really quite the man
You taught me life lessons
It made who I am
Here's to my coach
Care to look at me now
You were always so inspirational
I couldn't be happier now
