  • On the day, before the day, before the New Year
    The snow is falling on my prairie home
    And I'm so far away from where I started
    But no closer to where I belong

    And how many trails have I gone down for no reason
    Just to learn, that I can't leave myself behind
    And the only devil I've seen was in the mirror
    And the only enemy I know is in my mind

    Won't you tell me how long I must I pay off these dues
    Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose
    And you said it, but say it's not true
    Is winning really learning to lose

    Everywhere I turned, the cards were stacked against me
    And I wondered was it bad luck or just design
    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 I must I pay off these dues
    Won't you tell me is winning learning to lose
    And you said it, but say it's not true
    Is winning really learning to lose Writer/s: Jeremy Ivey, Margo Price
