Workin' for the Winner Songtext
von Mark Farner

Make an investment, there′s a shadow of doubt
Of how in the end it's gonna work out
But you lay it on the line and you don′t think twice
About the price you pay for the sacrifice
'Cause you're workin′, workin′
I know you're workin′, workin' for the winner

What does a rich man take to the grave?
It won′t be his money or the riches he saved
But the man who's a-right, he can sleep at night
When he spends his time sharing his life
He′s workin', workin' now
Workin′ for the winner

Dreams of a better life start with Him
When you′re workin', workin′


The river keeps on runnin'
Runnin′ to the sea
Then comes back like a mystery
That goes on endlessly
What are you workin' for
Chasin′ the wind?
Is it something you can touch
Or something you believe in?

A man can do well if he toes the line
Though distractions from the world try to blow his mind
I know he's going to a world with no end
He'll never have to worry ′bout the shape he′s in
'Cause he′s workin', I know he′s workin'
Workin′, he's really workin' now
(Workin′ for the winner)

Workin′, workin' for the winner, yeah, yeah
Workin′, I know he's workin′
Workin' for the winner
Workin′, workin' for the winner
Yeah, workin', workin′ for the winner
