Learning To Lose
[Margo Price]
On the day before the day before the new year
The snow is falling on my prairie home
I'm so far away from where I started
But no closer to where I belong
[Willie Nelson]
How many trails have I gone down for no reason?
Just to learn that I can't leave myself behind
And the only devil I've ever seen was in the mirror
And the only enemy I know is in my mind
[Ambos]
Won't you tell me how long must I pay off these dues?
Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose?
You said it, oh but say that it's not true
Is winning really learning to lose?
Everywhere that I turn, the cards stack against me
And I wonder was it bad luck or just design?
And all the things I've had to do without have been a blessing
But sometimes a blessing is a curse in disguise
Won't you tell me how long must I pay off these dues?
Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose?
You said it, oh but say that it's not true
Is winning really learning to lose?
Is winning really learning to lose?
