Merle Haggard

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
I hate to say I'm giving up but I believe
Losin's just become a way of life for me
Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all
But I'm always on a mountain when I fall

Then you came along and had me had me believing
For once in my life my luck had finally changed
And now you say you're gonna leave me
Seems everything I do winds up the same
I hate to say I'm giving up...
Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all
But I'm always on a mountain when I fall
