The Winner (Live) - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

The hulk of a man with a beer in[00:00:07]

Is hand looked like a drunk old fool[00:00:10]

And I knew if I hit him right[00:00:15]

Why I could knock him off a that stool[00:00:18]

But everybody they said Watch out[00:00:22]

Hey that's Tiger Man McCool[00:00:26]

He's had a whole lot of fights and he's[00:00:29]

Always come out a winner[00:00:32]

Yeah he's a winner[00:00:35]

But I'd had myself about five too[00:00:37]

Many and I walked up tall and proud[00:00:40]

I faced his back and I faced the[00:00:45]

Fact that he had never stooped or bowed[00:00:47]

I said Tiger Man you're a pussycat[00:00:52]

And a hush fell on the crowd[00:00:55]

I said let's you and me go[00:00:59]

Outside and see who's a winner[00:01:01]

Well he gripped the bar with one big[00:01:06]

Hairy hand and he braced against the wall[00:01:09]

He slowly looked up from his[00:01:14]

Beer my God that man was tall[00:01:17]

He said boy I see you're a[00:01:22]

Scrapper so just before you fall[00:01:24]

I'm gonna tell you just a little about[00:01:29]

What it means to be a winner[00:01:32]

He said Now you see these bright[00:01:35]

White smiling teeth you know[00:01:38]

They ain't my own[00:01:41]

Mine rolled away like Chiclets[00:01:44]

Down the street in San Antone[00:01:47]

But I left that person[00:01:51]

Cursing nursing seven broken bones[00:01:53]

And he uh only broke uh[00:01:58]

Three of mine that makes me the winner[00:02:01]

He said Now behind this grin[00:02:05]

I got steel pins that[00:02:08]

Holds my jaw in place[00:02:10]

A trophy of my most[00:02:13]

Successful motorcycle race[00:02:16]

And each morning when[00:02:20]

I wake and touch this[00:02:22]

Scar across my face[00:02:25]

It reminds me of all[00:02:28]

I got by being a winner[00:02:30]

Now this broken back was a[00:02:35]

Dying act of a handsome Harry Clay[00:02:37]

That sticky Cincinnati night[00:02:43]

I stole his wife away[00:02:46]

But that woman she get's uglier[00:02:50]

And she get's meaner every day[00:02:53]

But I got her boy that's[00:02:57]

What makes me a winner[00:03:00]

He said You gotta speak loud[00:03:08]

When you challenge me son[00:03:10]

'Cause it's hard for me to hear[00:03:12]

With this twisted neck and these[00:03:16]

Migraine pains and this[00:03:18]

Big old cauliflower ear[00:03:21]

And if it wasn't for this glass[00:03:23]

Eye of mine why I'd shed a happy tear[00:03:25]

To think of all you're[00:03:31]

Gonna get by being a winner[00:03:33]

I got arthritic elbows[00:03:38]

Boy I got dislocated knees[00:03:41]

From picking fights with[00:03:46]

Thunderstorms and charging into trees[00:03:48]

And my nose's been broke so often[00:03:53]

I might lose it if I sneeze[00:03:56]

And son you say you[00:04:01]

Still wanna be a winner[00:04:03]

Now you remind me a lot of[00:04:07]

My younger days with your[00:04:10]

Knuckles a clenching white[00:04:12]

But boy I'm gonna sit right[00:04:15]

Here and sip this beer all night[00:04:18]

And if there's something that[00:04:22]

You gotta gain or prove[00:04:24]

By winning some silly fight[00:04:26]

Well okay I quit[00:04:30]

I lose you're the winner[00:04:32]

Oh I stumbled from that[00:04:37]

Barroom not so tall and not so proud[00:04:39]

And behind me I still hear[00:04:45]

The hoots and laughter of the crowd[00:04:47]

But my eyes still see and[00:04:52]

My nose still works and[00:04:54]

My teeth are still in my mouth[00:04:56]

And you know[00:04:59]

I guess that makes me the winner[00:05:01]
