I played tonight in Richmond a town I think is fine

Tomorrow night is Dallas a long way down the line

I played the towns through the winter and in the summer again

This story has no meaning this story has no end

I couldn't wait to be a big star to have fortune and fame

I couldn't wait to make the records so everyone would know my name

And when I finally made it I stopped and thought again

This story has no meaning this story has no end

But life it isn't easy on this hard lonesome road

For today the doctors told me I got six months to go

I never was a loser all I could do was win

I hope my story had a meaning for now it has an end

[ steel ]

I never was a loser...
