Losing Streak
Embracing Life's Losing Streaks
Lyrics
Wheels up out in Amarillo had to double check the time to see
Reflecting on a flight from Amarillo, checking time due to a missed flight.
I missed my flight but they had my bag
Despite missing the flight, the baggage arrived, introducing a theme of irony.
Welcome to my losin' streak
Introducing the concept of a "losin' streak" in life.
The lord knows I don't like to complain
Expressing a reluctance to complain to the Lord.
Cause no one listens anyway
Feeling unheard when expressing grievances.
But to blow off some steam you gotta share a few things
Sharing frustrations as a means of releasing tension.
So here's one for irony
Acknowledging and embracing irony as part of the losing streak.
Well I thought I'd write a song
Attempt to write a song despite facing challenges.
But I lost my phone with every other melody
Losing the phone with song ideas, emphasizing the losing streak.
As a matter of fact this one's all that I had
The current song is the only one remaining, adding to the losing streak.
Well add it to my losin' streak
Continuation of experiencing a losing streak in various aspects of life.
You can try to fit me in between those lines
An invitation to be squeezed between lines, perhaps symbolizing challenges.
Chew me up and spit me out just one more time
Expectation of being used and discarded again.
I think the winner's me
Ironically considering oneself the winner of the losing streak.
If there's a trophy for the longest ever losin' streak
If there were a trophy for the longest losing streak, the singer would be content.
I'm okay with all that, I ain't one to look back
Acceptance of the past, choosing not to dwell on it.
I'll hang around and do my thing
Resolving to continue one's path despite setbacks.
Until that cop I didn't see, arrest me with my buddy's weed
An unexpected encounter with the law, adding to the losing streak.
Ah hell add it to my losin' streak
Adds the legal trouble to the ongoing losing streak.
You can try to fit me in between those lines
Inviting more challenges, expecting to be squeezed between lines again.
Chew me up and spit me out just one more time
Anticipating being used and discarded once more.
I think the winner's me
Ironically declaring oneself the winner amid the losing streak.
If there's a trophy for the longest ever losin' streak
Expressing contentment with the idea of winning a trophy for the longest losing streak.
Yeah the longest ever losin' streak
Reiterating the theme of the longest-ever losing streak.
I don't think it's in my blood
Questioning if the inclination towards losing is inherent.
I think it's just dumb luck
Suggesting that the losing streak may be attributed to luck rather than a family trait.
Well you can see my family tree
Comparing oneself to a successful family, highlighting a contrast.
They're all doctors, lawyers, rancher's sons
Family members pursuing prestigious professions, emphasizing divergence.
And I'm a horseshoer not doing too much
The singer, a horseshoer, represents an unconventional path in the family.
Oh but at least it's me
Despite the unconventional path, finding contentment in being oneself.
You can try to fit me in between those lines
Inviting further challenges, expecting to be squeezed between lines again.
Chew me up and spit me out one more time
Anticipating being used and discarded once more.
I think the winner's me if there's a trophy yeah
Ironically declaring oneself the winner amid the losing streak.
Ah for the longest ever losin' streak
Expressing contentment with the idea of winning a trophy for the longest losing streak.
The longest ever losin' streak
Reiterating the theme of the longest-ever losing streak.
I think the winner is me if there's a trophy
Ironically declaring oneself the winner amid the losing streak.
I think the winner is me
Asserting the belief that the singer is the winner of the losing streak.
I know the winner is me give me that trophy
Confidently stating that the singer deserves the trophy for the longest losing streak.
For the longest ever losin' streak
Final affirmation of being the winner of the longest-ever losing streak.
