美國鄉村樂紅星［凱西馬泰亞］──鄉村／流行搖滾曲──［Walking Away a Winner］

Any time love is on the table the stakes are high

But 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 I least I left with every pieace of this heart of mine

Im walking away a winner

Im walking away from a losing game

With my pride intact and my vision back I can say

I know where Im going and I know Ill be alright

Im walking away a winner

Walking back into my life

It was a hard way to go when I didnt know when to leave

If you knew all along baby you werent telling me

Now I know I could live or die

Im heading down the right road now

Still believeing in a way

That a real love is meant to be

Im walking away a winner

Im walking away from a losing game

With my pride intact and my vision back I can say

I know where Im going and I know Ill be alright

Im walking away a winner

Walking back into my life

Im walking away a winner

Im walking away from a losing game

With my pride intact and my vision back I can say

I know where Im going and I know Ill be alright

Im walking away a winner

Walking back into my life

Walking back into my life

Walking away a winner

Walking back into my life

Walking away a winner
