"Good At Losing" lyrics

"Good At Losing"

They laughed at me in New York City
Called me a fool in L.A.
I doubt that Nashville saw me coming
Besides the bar folks working late

Played every room in the state of Texas
All the ones in California too
So many nights I can't remember
Maybe I've played a song for you

Left San Francisco in a hurry
They ran me out of Fort Worth town
Been to the bottom of New Orleans
Them river boats make a lonesome sound

Lawmen they caught me in Virginia
No need to tell you what I done
Make sure you get your act together
Before you roll up 81

I've seen the other side of Dallas
Trying to climb up to the top
One thing I know about that city
Man, the hustle never stops

That's how I got real good at losing
Wasting precious time
Those folks who talk about me
Have never lived no life like mine

They laughed at me in New York City
Called me a fool in L.A.
I doubt that Nashville saw me coming
Besides the bar folks working late
