Paroles
The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand he looked like a drunk old fool
And I knew if I hit him right why I could knock him off of that stool
But everybody they said watch out hey that’s the Tiger Man McCool
He’s had the whole lotta fights and he’s always come out winner yeah he’s a winner
But I had myself about five too many and I walked up tall and proud
I faced his back and I faced the fact that he had never stooped or bowed
I said Tiger Man you’re a pussycat and a hush fell on the crowd
I said let’s you and me go outside and see who’s the winner
Well he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand then he braced against the wall
He slowly looked up from his beer my God that man was tall
He said boy I see you’re a scrapper so just before you fall
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
And my nose been broke so often I might lose if I sneeze
And son you say you still wanna be a winner
Now you remind me a lotta my younger days with your knuckles a clenchin' white
But boy I’m gonna sit right here and sip this beer all night
And if there’s somethin' that you gotta gain to prove by winnin' some silly
fight
Well okay I quit I lose you’re the winner
So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall and not so proud
And behind me I still hear the hoots of laughter of the crowd
But my eyes still see and my nose still works and my teeth’re still in my mouth
And you know I guess that makes me the winner
Traduction des paroles
De cueillir des combats avec des orages et charger dans les arbres
Et mon nez a été cassé si souvent que je pourrais perdre si j'éternue
Et fils tu dis que tu veux toujours être un gagnant
Maintenant, vous me rappelez beaucoup mes jeunes jours avec vos jointures un clenchin ' blanc
Mais je vais m'asseoir ici et siroter cette bière toute la nuit
Et s'il y a quelque chose que tu dois gagner à prouver en gagnant un idiot
lutte
OK je démissionne je perds tu es le gagnant
Alors je suis tombé de ce bar pas si grand et pas si fier
Et derrière moi j'entends encore les huées de rire de la foule
Mais mes yeux voient encore et mon nez fonctionne encore et mes dents sont encore dans ma bouche
Et tu sais je suppose que ça fait de moi le gagnant
