Always a Winner To Me
Just a normal American family
Living, loving and makin’ memories
Living everywhere and in between
For a family of service was routine
He served our country for thirty-plus years
Means lots of time lost and lots of tears
A hard working, loving man, we were all his biggest fans
And I still feel him next to me
He always had “two cents” to spare for me
I remember him sippin’ on his favorite whiskey
He’d say, “Son, don't ever quit”
And even if you don’t make it
You’ll always be a winner to me
A winner to me
These days I’m tryin’ to pass it on
To my kids who are almost grown
I tell’em whatever it is that you think you can’t lick
The journey’s where you learn so Don't Quit
Oh, don't you quit
He always had “two cents” to spare for me
I remember him sippin’ on his favorite whiskey
He’d say, “Son, don't ever quit”
And even if you don’t make it
You’ll always be a winner to me
Always be a winner to me
He always had “two cents” to spare for me
I remember him sippin’ on his favorite whiskey
He’d say, “Son, don't ever quit”
And even if you don’t make it
You’ll always be a winner to me
Always be a winner to me
We were an American family
Living, loving and makin’ memories
