《The Winner》歌词

[00:00:00] The Winner (Live) - Bobby Bare

[00:00:07] The hulk of a man with a beer in

[00:00:10] Is hand looked like a drunk old fool

[00:00:15] And I knew if I hit him right

[00:00:18] Why I could knock him off a that stool

[00:00:22] But everybody they said Watch out

[00:00:26] Hey that's Tiger Man McCool

[00:00:29] He's had a whole lot of fights and he's

[00:00:32] Always come out a winner

[00:00:35] Yeah he's a winner

[00:00:37] But I'd had myself about five too

[00:00:40] Many and I walked up tall and proud

[00:00:45] I faced his back and I faced the

[00:00:47] Fact that he had never stooped or bowed

[00:00:52] I said Tiger Man you're a pussycat

[00:00:55] And a hush fell on the crowd

[00:00:59] I said let's you and me go

[00:01:01] Outside and see who's a winner

[00:01:06] Well he gripped the bar with one big

[00:01:09] Hairy hand and he braced against the wall

[00:01:14] He slowly looked up from his

[00:01:17] Beer my God that man was tall

[00:01:22] He said boy I see you're a

[00:01:24] Scrapper so just before you fall

[00:01:29] I'm gonna tell you just a little about

[00:01:32] What it means to be a winner

[00:01:35] He said Now you see these bright

[00:01:38] White smiling teeth you know

[00:01:41] They ain't my own

[00:01:44] Mine rolled away like Chiclets

[00:01:47] Down the street in San Antone

[00:01:51] But I left that person

[00:01:53] Cursing nursing seven broken bones

[00:01:58] And he uh only broke uh

[00:02:01] Three of mine that makes me the winner

[00:02:05] He said Now behind this grin

[00:02:08] I got steel pins that

[00:02:10] Holds my jaw in place

[00:02:13] A trophy of my most

[00:02:16] Successful motorcycle race

[00:02:20] And each morning when

[00:02:22] I wake and touch this

[00:02:25] Scar across my face

[00:02:28] It reminds me of all

[00:02:30] I got by being a winner

[00:02:35] Now this broken back was a

[00:02:37] Dying act of a handsome Harry Clay

[00:02:43] That sticky Cincinnati night

[00:02:46] I stole his wife away

[00:02:50] But that woman she get's uglier

[00:02:53] And she get's meaner every day

[00:02:57] But I got her boy that's

[00:03:00] What makes me a winner

[00:03:08] He said You gotta speak loud

[00:03:10] When you challenge me son

[00:03:12] 'Cause it's hard for me to hear

[00:03:16] With this twisted neck and these

[00:03:18] Migraine pains and this

[00:03:21] Big old cauliflower ear

[00:03:23] And if it wasn't for this glass

[00:03:25] Eye of mine why I'd shed a happy tear

[00:03:31] To think of all you're

[00:03:33] Gonna get by being a winner

[00:03:38] I got arthritic elbows

[00:03:41] Boy I got dislocated knees

[00:03:46] From picking fights with

[00:03:48] Thunderstorms and charging into trees

[00:03:53] And my nose's been broke so often

[00:03:56] I might lose it if I sneeze

[00:04:01] And son you say you

[00:04:03] Still wanna be a winner

[00:04:07] Now you remind me a lot of

[00:04:10] My younger days with your

[00:04:12] Knuckles a clenching white

[00:04:15] But boy I'm gonna sit right

[00:04:18] Here and sip this beer all night

[00:04:22] And if there's something that

[00:04:24] You gotta gain or prove

[00:04:26] By winning some silly fight

[00:04:30] Well okay I quit

[00:04:32] I lose you're the winner

[00:04:37] Oh I stumbled from that

[00:04:39] Barroom not so tall and not so proud

[00:04:45] And behind me I still hear

[00:04:47] The hoots and laughter of the crowd

[00:04:52] But my eyes still see and

[00:04:54] My nose still works and

[00:04:56] My teeth are still in my mouth

[00:04:59] And you know

[00:05:01] I guess that makes me the winner
