Lyrics Learning to Lose - Willie Nelson , Margo Price

On the day, before the day
Before the new year
The snow, is falling on my prairie home
I'm so far away, from where I started
But no closer, to where, I belong

And how many trails, have I gone down
Followed easily
Just to learn that I can't leave myself behind
And the only devil I've ever seen was in the mirror
And the only enemy I know is in my mind

Won't you tell me, how long must I pay all these dues?
Won't you tell me, is winning learning to lose?

You said it, oh but say that it's not true
Is winning, learning to lose

Everywhere that I turn the curse that gets me
I wondered, was it bad luck or just desire?

And all the things I've had to do without
Have been a blessing
But sometimes a blessing is a curse in disguise

Won't you tell me, how long must I pay all these dues?
Won't you tell me, is winning learning to lose?

You said it, you said it
Oh but say that it's not true
Is winning, is winning, really learning to lose?
Is winning, and is winning, really learning to lose?

Alright!
