Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been up an' down, sideways, crossways
Outside in an' inside out
I took a rocky ride across the sky
Couple times, till the fire burned out
Well, I hit the ground a time or two
But I got back up an' I found the truth
An' said "Hey, ol' Wynonna got somethin' to say"
Oh, whoa, you know I know what I'm talkin' about
There's two ways to take what this ol' life's gonna throw at you
You can choose to win or lose, it's all about attitude, yeah, chop
Well, this world has tried to break me, shake me
Tried to take the fight outta me, ha ha
But I've always come back bigger, badder, better
Always land on my feet, ha that's right
Well, I coulda given up, coulda got down, down, down, down
Well, I kept on swingin' an' I went another round
Hey, ol' Wynonna got somethin' to say

Wynonna Judd's song Attitude is a song that emphasizes the necessity of a positive mindset to overcome obstacles, hardships, and difficulties that we encounter in the journey of life. Wynonna recognizes that life can toss people up and down and as a result, many may feel like it is impossible to keep going. However, her experiences have made her understand that you can either win or lose, and it all comes down to having the right attitude. The lyrics suggest that we should have an unyielding, determined, and optimistic approach in dealing with the situations that life throws at us. We should not be discouraged by the struggles we have, but instead, we should see them as opportunities to learn and grow.
The song also highlights the fact that society tries to break and shake us, making it feel like it's not worth it anymore. However, the singer emphasizes the need to, nonetheless, get back up and come back bigger, badder and better, no matter how hard life pushes us. She stresses that even when it seems like we cannot persevere, we should get up and push again.
