A chess game can be a lot like life, either you're riding high and fall flat on your face or you're about to crash, but get a second wid and you're off and running!

lyrics

Hanging by a Thread/You Can’t Win

Verse 1:
I was sitting thinking one day,
Wondering where I might have been
If I’d chosen the better way,
When all at once I realized I can’t win.
Chorus 1:
No I can’t win, I can’t win,
I can’t win no matter how I try.
I can’t win, I can’t win,
No I just can’t win.
As I stood up and gave out a sigh,
I yelled out, “ I just can’t win, no!”
Verse 2:
Spectators, staring, all agreed
I couldn’t win even if I tried.
I read all their faces as I did proceed
And they all got up and said “You can’t win.”
Chorus 2:
No you can’t win, you can’t win
You can’t win no matter how you try.
No, you can’t win, you can’t win,
No you just can’t win.
As I sat there and gave out a sigh,
They yelled out and laughed , ”you know You just can’t win.”
Verse 3:
I might have agreed, but I thought I had a chance.
They all thought I had no more moves.
I saw one space so I took a chance,
And they were shocked to see I was no longer doomed, and I yelled out
Chorus 3:
I can win, I can win,
I’ve won, I’ve won I’ve beaten your game,
Yes I’ve won, I’ve won I’ve beaten your game,
Hang your head in shame,
I’ve won, I’ve won, I’ve beaten your game.
I won.
