Losing Isn't EverythingIn some rodeo bar, outside of Cheyennefour shots and my shadow's, in worse shape than I amI rub a cold beer, on my poor shoulderguess I've gained all I need, just by getting oldercos losing isn't everythingif you're given one more chanceone more chance is all I needto fill these empty handswinning is the endof any man's dreamso I try and try, to stop is to dieand losing isn't everythingmaybe I'm a fool, but it just seems funnythat it ain't the fame, and it ain't the moneycos I swallow the pain, just to taste the hungerand feel the fire I had, when I was youngercos losing isn't everythingif you're given one more chanceone more chance is all I needto fill these empty handswinning is the endof any man's dreamso I try and try, to stop is to dieand losing isn't everythingI've seen other cowboys fadeand mister I've foundit's a short ride from over the hillto under the groundso I'll do all I can, to stay in the saddlebelieving in the war, is half the battleso I honor my brand, and keep on ridingcos old cowboys win, just by fightingand losing isn't everythingif you're given one more chanceone more chance is all I needto fill these empty handswinning is the endof any man's dreamso I try and try, to stop is to dieand losing isn't everything(c)2005 Robert George
