Oh the rain is falling on my prairie home I'm so far away from where I started But so much closer to where I belong How many trails have I gone down for no reason Just to learn I can't leave myself behind Hell, the only devil I've 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 off these dues Won't you tell me winning is really learning to lose You said, go on and say it's not true Cause winning's really learning to lose Every where that I turn the cards stack against me And I wonder, is it bad luck or just design I know the things I've had to do without have been blessings Sometime 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 winning is really learning to lose You said, go on and say it's not true Cause winning's really learning to lose
