Lyrics It's Not Where You Start - Barbara Cook
It's
not
where
you
start,
it's
where
you
finish.
It's
not
how
you
go,
it's
how
you
land.
A
hun-dred
to
one
shot,
they
call
him
a
klutz
--
Can
out-run
the
fav'rite,
all
he
needs
is
the
guts.
Your
final
return
will
not
diminish
And
you
can
be
the
cream
of
the
crop;
It's
not
where
you
start,
it's
where
you
finish,
And
you're
gonna
finish
on
top.
If
you
start
at
the
top,
you're
certain
to
drop,
You've
got
to
watch
your
timing;
Better
begin
by
climbing
up,
up,
up
the
ladder.
If
you're
go-ing
to
last
you
can't
make
it
fast,
man,
Nobody
starts
a
winner,
give
me
a
slow
beginner,
Easy
does
it,
conserve
your
fine
endurance;
Easy
does
it,
for
that's
your
life
insurance.
While
you
are
young,
take
it
rung
after
rung
after
rung.
It's
not
where
you
start,
it's
where
you
finish.
It's
not
how
you
go,
it's
how
you
land.
A
hun-dred
to
one
shot,
they
call
him
a
klutz
--
Can
out-run
the
fav'rite,
all
he
needs
is
the
guts.
Your
final
return
will
not
diminish
And
you
can
be
the
cream
of
the
crop;
It's
not
where
you
start,
it's
where
you
finish,
And
you're
gonna
finish
on
top.
