Learning to Lose (feat. Willie Nelson)

On the day, before the day, before the New Year The snow is falling on my prairie home And I'm so far away from where I started But no closer to where I belong And 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 seen was in the mirror And the only enemy I know is in my mind Won't you tell me how long I must I pay off these dues Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose And you said it, but say it's not true Is winning really learning to lose Everywhere I turned, the cards were stacked against me And I wondered 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 I must I pay off these dues Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose And you said it, but say it's not true Is winning really learning to lose
