I used to be a winner, guess
I lost my touch
I used to be a winner baby
Now I'm all out of luck
Summer here can hit eighty five in the day
And take the strength from the strongest man
I called you four, five, six times or more
What I done wrong I just don't understand
Feeling distant here, raking through the past
Our younger days have long gone
We chased the last
Once I had a vision, remember we had a plan
Maybe all things will become new again
And my friend me and you again
Will paint the whole damn town red
Tear down the walls, have a ball.
I used to be a winner
I could turn your world from grey
I used to be a winner baby
The sunlight in your day
Well Davey closed his eyes at just 53
Now only God can wake him
I don't know if he drew the bad hand
I'm hoping someday he might tell me
Feeling so distant here, just raking through the past
Our younger days have long gone
We chased the last
Once I had a vision, remember we had a plan
Maybe all things will become new again
And my friend me and you again
Will paint the whole damn town red
Tear down the walls, have a ball.
