Walking Away A Winner

Walking Away a Winner

Written by Tom Shapiro & Bob Dipiero

Performed by Kathy Mattea on "Walking Away a Winner"

Any time love is on the table the stakes are high

And I thought this was love so I laid it all on the line

You nearly took everything I had. Never knew I could hurt so bad

But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine

Chorus

I'm walking a-way a winner Walking a-way from a losing game.

With my pride in-tact and my vision back I can say

I know where I'm going and I know I'll be al-right.

I'm walking a-way a winner walking back into my life.

It was a hard way to go when I didn't know when to leave

And if you knew all along baby, you weren't telling me

Now I know what I can live with-out.

I'm heading down the right road now

Still be-lieving in the way that a real love is meant to be

(Repeat Chorus)

Walking back into my life. Walking a-way a winner.

Walking back into my life. Walking a-way a winner.
