I don't care what anybody says, I think Alex Ligertwood was to Santana was what Steve Perry was to Journey. Strange twist there: Neil Schon and Greg Rollie started with Santana.
Just when I am about to give up at times, I listen to this song and remind myself. There is always another day to become a winner!!! as long as you keep up the fight. Thanks Carlos Santana!!!
great song, wish this song was a staple on our local classic rock station, I've never expected Santana doing this song at all, I've always pictured this song done by a one hit wonder
@Doobie1975 Yeah it's definitely not in Santana's typical style, he doesn't even use his trademark guitar tone for this one. To be honest I thought it was Steve Winwood singing on this one!
Wow, thanks for uploading this great song, it's one of those that you forget and when you hear it you wonder how the hell did you forget such a great song
winning we are in global conspiracy against catholic clergy, abuse survivors from every country are coming forward to put their dot on the map. All abuse of children is wrong as the rain falls? Vatican should be held accountable for crimes against Humanity! Most especially all little children everywhere around the Globe! thanks if we can associate this song towards this cause? Many again thanks. awesome lerics!!! just awesome.
This is so funny, for the past month now I've been walking around singing I'm Winning since this Charlie Sheen craziness, my grandson said I know I've heard
that song, so I let him listen to it on you tube and yes Thank You Charlie for reminding me of this great song. The funniest thing my grandson said to me was, "you know why Charlie Sheen is Winning, cause Chuck Norris ain't playing",
OMG, I lmao, so funny. Well you go Charlie!
To Santana, this will always be such a great song!
Misspelled: "losing" as "lossing." -- Missing apostrophe: "one day I was one of { life's } losers". (apostrophe shows posession, no apostrophe indicates plural [ and now that you know this, note the WIDESPREAD misuse of it in everyday society today] ) Missing apostrophe: "It took a long time and { I'm } new born now." (contraction of "I am".)
yeah, this 1981 hit is charlie sheen's theme song. i bet he sings along with this song when he blares it from his speakers at 100 or more decibels while having a hot threesome with those goddesses of his.
just need to fix the typo (losing has 1 s)...otherwise GREAT job--one of the all time greatest lyric lines: "had a dream but it turned to dust & what I thought was love, that must have been lust" (Can I get an Amen on that one?)
for so many years I have had afmiration for Santana..so much wonderful music!! This song is absolutely one of my faves and I was so amazed to discover that it was written by one of my current "Heroes"...Russ Ballard. Without his musical creativity this song would never have existed! He certainly can do Magic , as he also wrote the hit for America "You can do Magic" and so much more!
Great job, thanks for posting the lyrics. This song is awesome. I heard it on the radio the other day when I tuned into a classic rock station. I can't get it out of my head. Now at least I know all the right words!!
my froends dad gets sorry drunk to this song and plays tha shit out of it well back in 2000 or so i havent heasrd it b4 the drinkin and since the drinkin until now IT SEEMED CUT SHORT like radio time slot edit STATUS MICHAEL JACKSON IN SPIRED SANATANA TO BE THE TYPE OF MUSICAL ARANGEMENT THEY ARE U CAN TOTALY TELL HOW THEY BIT MJ'S STYLE THROUGH OUT ALL OF THERE BEAUTIFUL WORK talk about being unoriganle
Thanx. About 12 yrs ago in a drunken stupor, me and some friends argued about this jam. My buddies said Steve Perry of Journey sang this song. And said these crazy lyrics. I said they were wrong. I see them now and I win. On both counts. HA
@0258752 Yes, this is true. However, it is quite common in modern American vernacular to pronounce 'of' and 'have' similarly, depending on usage. 'Must-a' is also another common pronunciation of the term 'must have'. The variations in pronunciation also comes in quite handy when inserting them into the determinant rhythms of a pop tune. Given the probability that the language is deteriorating to accommodate the decline in culture, I could foresee a time when the words would be interchangeable.
Great song... Luv it ! Tks for the lyrics.
