The bells are chiming from the corner dairy store
Ringing loud and their message is clear
If you give up now then how you going to know
If tomorrow is one day nearer
If you just hold on a little longer
Gut and grit will get you through
How great does this feel
How great does this feel
To be standing here today
How great does this feel
How great does this feel
To be standing here today
Winner, winner, winner, I'm a winner, winner, winner
I'm a winner, winner, winner, it's true
Winner, winner, winner, I'm a winner, winner, winner
I'm a winner, winner, winner, are you?
And the days are calling a night time of fear as the blisters are starting to heal
And you've fallen down and when you've had to get up
On the way you've learned how to kneel
If you just hold on a little longer
Gut and grit will get you through
How great does this feel
How great does this feel
To be standing here today
How great does this feel
How great does this feel

To be standing here today
And all the fussers and the fighters and the liars and the cheaters and the laggards and the braggarts and the energy depleters, on the whole they disappear
And all the hard clap early-morning soul-destroying loser talk with blisters, sore back sore brain your gunna balk on yeah it disappears
And all those old folks who told you to get a real job oh yeah they disappear
And all those early ripe early rot privileged kids oh man they disappear
So if you hold on a little longer
Gut and grit will see you through
Hold hold hold
How great does this feel
How great does this feel
To be standing here today
How great does this feel
How great does this feel
To be standing here today[And all those old folks who told you to get a real job oh yeah they disappear]
[And all those early ripe early rot privileged kids oh man they disappear]
Winner, winner, winner, I'm a winner, winner, winner
I'm a winner, winner, winner, it's true
Winner, winner, winner, I'm a winner, winner, winner
I'm a winner, winner, winner, are you?
