I'm Always On a Mountain - Merle Haggard

Most of my life I’ve almost been a winner

I’ve come so close but never really won

Just when I thought I finally made it

I found myself back where I started from.

I hate to say I’m giving up but I believe

Losin’s just become a way of life for me

Losin' wouldn’t be so bad at all

But I’m always on a mountain when I fall.

Then you came along and had me had me believing

For once in my life my luck had finally changed

And now you say you’re gonna leave me

Seems everything I do winds up the same.

I hate to say I’m giving up but I believe

Losin’s just become a way of life for me

Losin' wouldn’t be so bad at all

But I’m always on a mountain when I fall.

Losin' wouldn’t be so bad at all

But I’m always on a mountain when I fall…
