Learning to Lose (feat. Willie Nelson)

On the day, before the day, before the New Year
The snow is falling on my prairie home
And I'm so far away from where I started
But no closer to where I belong

And how many trails have I gone down for no reason
Just to learn, that I can't leave myself behind
And 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 I must I pay off these dues
Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose
And you said it, but say it's not true
Is winning really learning to lose

Everywhere I turned, the cards were stacked against me
And I wondered was it bad luck or just design
And all the things I've had to do without have been a blessing
But sometimes a blessing is a curse in disguise

Won't you tell me how long I must I pay off these dues
Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose
And you said it, but say it's not true
Is winning really learning to lose
