The Winner
Everybody loves a winner,
And nobody wants to loo-oose,
But when it comes down to heads or tails,
It's Fate that gets to choose.
I don't mean you should give up,
But success has its price,
If you wanna drink from the Loving Cup
Be prepared for the sacrifi-iice
(success has it's price).
(there are more lyrics, but that's all I remember, I've got it registered. The song has a nice moving chord structure similar to the way Jim Croce used to play. I had him in mind when I wrote the song even though as a singer-songwriter himself, he wasn't likely to record it, and he died in '73.)
