Oh the rain is falling on my prairie home
I'm so far away from where I started
But so much closer to where I belong
How many trails have I gone down for no reason
Just to learn I can't leave myself behind
Hell, the only devil I've seen was in the mirror
And the only enemy I know is in my mind
Won't you tell me how long must I pay off these dues
Won't you tell me winning is really learning to lose
You said, go on and say it's not true
Cause winning's really learning to lose
Every where that I turn the cards stack against me
And I wonder, is it bad luck or just design
I know the things I've had to do without have been blessings
Sometime a blessing is a curse in disguise
Won't you tell me how long must I pay off these dues
Won't you tell me winning is really learning to lose
You said, go on and say it's not true
Cause winning's really learning to lose
