LOSER MAKIN' GOOD
(Shirl Milete)


Red Sovine - 1968


Well I'm a loser makin' good, I always knew I would
This fool I am's the fool I'll always be
I've lost a million times, I'm about to lose my mind
So I'm a loser a-makin' good look at me

Each time I loved and lost, I thought I'd learned the game
And losin' all I have is how I got my name
So if you lost and lose in all you should
Just say here goes a loser a-makin' good

More than once or twice I sure paid a pretty price
I reached for things I couldn't even see
So nothin's all I got, but nothin's quite a lot
To a loser makin' good, look at me

Each time I loved and lost, I thought I'd learned the game
And losin' all I have is how I got my name
So if you lost and lose in all you should
Just say here goes a loser a-makin' good
Just say here goes a loser a-makin' good
