Most of my life I've almost been a winner. I've come so close but never really won. Just when I thought I finally made it. I found myself back where I started from.

Yeah I'm a good loser born to be that way this dog he never had his day. Yeah I'm a good loser so don't worry bout my pride. Me don't look back you can't see my hurt inside.
Down every road there's always one more city. I'm on the run, the highway is my home. I raised a lot of Cain back in my younger days. While Mama used to pray my crops would fail.

A loser doesn't always know he's losing. Till he's lost the game and it's too late to win. I hope I'll call in time and you'll forgive me. 'Cause I want so much to come back home again.
Slowly the long day turns to night. And soon they'll turn out the prison lights. But in my cell I'm making plans. To be with you at home again. . These walls and bars can't hold a dreamin' man.
Revenge must be the reason,. Why forgiveness was a thing I never knew.. And someday soon I know you plan to hurt me,. But don't plan on getting by with the things you do..
All because I walk a different street. And not helloed by some I meet. That don't mean that what I do ain't right. Those that said that I was wrong. Now say thay knew it all along.

I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you. And I can't understand this awful change you're going through. But lately I've been watching you grow colder every day.
I'd trade all of my tomorrow's for just one yesterday. For my life's no good if I can't have your love. I'd trade all of my tomorrow's, they're worth less anyway.

We stopped living when our love died. And I wanta live again. Our love grew cold a long time ago. We both know love is gone. . Yet we stay together. We just keep hanging on.
I never thought I'd ever conquer my weakness. Cause everybody knows that my weakness is you. But the answer came this morning. And you should be the first to hear.
I think we're livin' in the good old days. So cheer up friends and be glad. I think we're livin' in the good old days. The best anybody ever had. . We think we're doin' now maybe memories later.
