Learning to Lose (feat. Willie Nelson)

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 And how many trails, have I gone down Followed easily 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 Won't you tell me, how long must I pay all 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, learning to lose Everywhere that I turn the curse that gets me I wondered, was it bad luck or just desire? 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 all these dues? Won't you tell me, is winning learning to lose? You said it, you said it Oh but say that it's not true Is winning, is winning, really learning to lose? Is winning, and is winning, really learning to lose? Alright!
