Winning Track
Words and Music by Steve Meko

When I was young
I learned of some rules
A lesson from the streets
That they don't teach you in school
To be a man,
Well, Life is hard
There ain't no prize
There ain't no reward
There ain't no road to an easy street
Don't drop your hands down and claim defeat, No!

Well I was raised in some middle class
You'll work hard both night and day
That's if your job'll last
Don't ask me for any cash this week
It seems I've hit an unlucky streak
And I'm not one to preach my worth
Seems I was cursed before my birth

Chorus:
Opened my eyes, Only to see
If your town gets to small for you
It's time then to leave
Out on the Road
No lookin' back
Tired of my losin' ways
Gotta get on a Winning Track.

Well I've been down
Every Road I've seen
And I've done my share
And I've tried to believe
To see things in a better light
To find good on a bitter night
Yeah, I've tried hard and I gave it my best
But the outcomes rarely different from the rest.

Repeat Chorus
