"Until I Win" lyrics

He's been pulling doubles at the factory now for years on end
He's been telling all his buddies boys this ain't it
He's savin up the pennies for the parts on his Pontiac
Once he gets it running says he'll blow this town and never look back

All my life I been hiding in the shadows
Count me out I'll get back up again
Weathered hard rain and stayed in the saddle
Might look like a loser, but only until I win

She's been waiting tables since high school at the corner cafe
She counts her tips out back on her cigarette break
Her friends all tell her that it's time to let her big dreams go
But she knows it's never too late, and she knows something they don't

All my life I been hiding in the shadows
Count me out I'll get back up again
Weathered hard rain and stayed in the saddle
Might look like a loser, but only until I win

Might have been that full moon shining
Or something blowing in the wind
But like a summer bolt of lightning
They weren't ever seen again

Friday at 5 he punches out for the very last time
She's waiting for him on the corner just outside
Word 'round the town was they'll come crawling right back home
But that Pontiac's long gone. Nothing but open road

All my life I been hiding in the shadows
Count me out I'll get back up again
Weathered hard rain and stayed in the saddle
Might look like a loser, but only until I win

All my life I been hiding in the shadows
Count me out I'll get back up again
Weathered hard rain and stayed in the saddle
Might look like a loser, but only until I win

Only until I win
