Losing Again

I must confess there are times that I did win
I can't recall many miles with my back to the wind
But it's raining in Laurel and a new storm is rolling in
I ain't lost, I'm just losing again

And each road I turn down, is a dead end
And each year I get older, its hard just to stand
And the train I caught on, derailed just round the bend
I ain't lost, I'm just losing again

I had a love but she left when the drinking began
I won the fight but I woke without a friend
And the beer on the counter, it means no money to spend
I ain't lost, I'm just losing again

And each road I turn down, is a dead end
And each year I get older, its hard just to stand
And the train I caught on, derailed just round the bend
I ain't lost, I'm just losing again

When I wake up tomorrow, I'll have a new day to live
I'll smile through sorrow and pray for something to give
But the chances are ripe that I'll be in the drunk tank by ten
I ain't lost, I'm just losing again

And each road I turn down, is a dead end
And each year I get older, its hard just to stand
And the train I caught on, derailed just round the bend
I ain't lost, I'm just losing again, and again, and again
