Old Gains

winning was my style
it never ever stopped
I wanted to go on
'till I dropped

a mile out of town
I was goin' 'round an' 'round
it came to me as a flash

I had to get out
I had my share of winning
I was loosing ground

and I didn't like the feeling
somebody threw a towel
I knew I was down

no time to get up
no time to stop the count
no time to apoligise
no time for another round

no time to reach for fame
I met myself comin' up the way
it was just not for me to stay
I just drifted away

with all the cheers fading
with a thin crowd leadin' the way
it wasn't in me to live on old gains
