Everybody Loves A Winner
Soul Asylum · Runaway Train (EP)
Always by my side. but my fame oh it died and my friends began to hide
Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone. everywhere
I turn there was hello and a smile i never thought that it would be gone
After awhile but my bank roll oh it down and the smiles they turned
To frowns. everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone
Once i had love. oh but it wouldn't be true to get back that love there ain't
Nothing i wouldn't do but i've loved and i lost and now i paid the cost
Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone
Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone.
