lyrics

Lyrics by Alec Seeley

I’m waiting for something to put fear into me
I’m tired of the city, and I want to be free
Don’t lie to me girl, are you coming with me
We’ll be winners again in the winter
Got out in the morning, left St. Paul behind
We’ll be halfway to Denver before we unwind
You fell asleep, but I didn’t mind
We’ll be winners again in the winter

I’m tired of losing, I take it too hard
But I hope that the summers are warm where you are
When the autumn grows cold and the days grow dark
We’ll be winners again in the winter

Pulled off I-80 for a rusty motel
Been driving all night and my head hurt like hell
Pour me a strong one, I know this too well
We’ll be winners again in the winter

Am I east of my eden, is there somethin’ I’ve missed
Those Steinbeck stories had to put me up to this
I cut my teeth on the pages and the print
Got lost in the scenery and caught up in the midst
Of this brown-eyed, sure-fire, way to exist
Can’t wait till the morning so I can forget
and start again

As I walk down this highway, name it after me
Hire some kids, who’ll clean it for free
Don’t plaster my name on forgotten side streets
We’ll be winners again in the winter

I’m tired of losing, I take it too hard
But I hope that the summers are warm where you are
Cause when the autumn grows cold and the days grow dark
We’ll be winners again in the winter
