Just heard that McCain thinks we're winning in Iraq and for some reason, the old Bobby Bare song came to mind.
from: The Winner, Bobby Bare
.......snip..... I'm gonna tell you just a little bout what it means to be a winner He said now you see these bright white smilin' teeth you know they ain't my own Mine rolled away like Chicklets down the street in San Antone But I left that person cursin' nursin' seven broken bones And he only broke ah three of mine that makes me the winner He said now behind this grin I got a steel pin that holds my jaw in place A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race And each morning when I wake and touch this scar across my face It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner Now this broken back was the dyin' act of a handsome Harry Clay That sticky Cincinnati night I stole his wife away But that woman she gets uglier and she gets meaner every day But I got her boy that's what makes me a winner He said you gotta speak loud when you challenge me son cause it's hard for me to hear With this twisted neck and these migraine pains and this big ole cauliflower ear And if it wadn't for this glass eye of mine why I'd shed a happy tear To think of all that you gonna get by bein' a winner I got arthritic elbows boy I got dislocated knees From pickin' fights with thunderstorms and chargin' into trees .....snip.......
