S-U-C-C-E-S-S

That's the way we spell success

Will we get it, the answers yes

S-U-C-C-E-S-S

Small town boy, so clean he squeaks

PRESSED and polished for the big time dreams

Got a letter from his MAMA, and a boyish grin

Close his eyes FOR A minute, and it'll lead him to the win (???)

Yeah



You know there's nothin' like HAVIN' THAT WALL AGAINST YOUR BACK

To GET your ass in gear, and your mind on track

When wheels start turnin', things start FALLIN' into place

YOU'D be suprised what you can do WITH SOME INTELLIGENCE AND TASTE

Yeah



Chorus:



Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First

Sometimes your best is all it takes

You know that, Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First

Sometimes The Good Guys, Finish First



Back DOOR logic TURNED your head around

Use the front door and avoid the crowds

They'll TRY to tell you that it can't be done

BEATIN' the big boys at their own game is half the fun,

hey hey



(Repeat Chorus Twice)



The Good Guys, the Good Guys, the Good Guys, Finish First



(Chorus)



Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First

Walkin' a straight line in reverse

You know that, Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First

Sometimes The Good Guys, Finish First



(Chorus)
