History is full of winners and losers
And fools who never learned how to play the game
When they make a list of those who have lost the most
That's where you're gonna find my name

Crockett lost the Alamo, Manson lost his mind
Nixon lost the White House, the Colts lost in '69
Judas lost his faith, Custer lost his troops
Columbus lost his way, and I lost you

You were the best thing that ever happened
I don't know why I let you slip away
I held the whole world in my own two hands
Man talk about your big mistake

Crockett lost the Alamo, Manson lost his mind
Nixon lost the White House, the Colts lost in '69
Judas lost his faith, Custer lost his troops
Columbus lost his way, and I lost you

Baby in the scheme of things
My loss might not be in comparison
But not to me
Not to me

Crockett lost the Alamo, Manson lost his mind
Nixon lost the White House, the Colts lost in '69
Judas lost his faith, Custer lost his troops
Columbus lost his way, and I lost you
Oh I lost you
I lost you
I lost you
