I played tonight in Richmond a town I think is fine
Tomorrow night is Dallas a long way down the line
I played the towns through the winter and in the summer again
This story has no meaning this story has no end
I couldn’t wait to be a big star to have fortune and fame
I couldn’t wait to make the records so everyone would know my name
And when I finally made it I stopped and thought again
This story has no meaning this story has no end
But life it isn’t easy on this hard lonesome road
For today the doctors told me I got six months to go
I never was a loser all I could do was win
I hope my story had a meaning for now it has an end
[ steel ]
I never was a loser…
