Larry Norman
The Winner (High Card)
[Intro]
Hey, yeah
All right

[Verse 1]
I'm a wheeler, a dealer
A man who's in control
Don't talk about my feelings
Don't talk about my soul
Well, you know my time is money
So I've got no time to spend
But when you got some business
Won't you come on by again?

[Chorus]
I'm the winner
And I made it to the top
And I took it all
Just like I planned
I'm the man who holds
The high card in his hand

[Verse 2]
I'm a boner, a loaner
A master at the game
And I got that golden Midas touch
And people know my name
There were times I held the low cards, baby
But I knew they weren't enough
But I just kept my poker face
And won it on the bluff
[Chorus]
I'm the winner
And I made it to the top
And I took it all
Just like I planned
I'm the man who holds
The high card in his hand

[Bridge]
I'm not in trouble
I have no need to play
My profits double
Day by day by day by day by day

[Verse 3]
It's not easy to see me
I'm an influential man
And I never needed anyone
To build my promised land
So don't tell me about Jesus
'Cause he's just too hard a sell
And I never trust in strangers
That's the first rule I learned well

[Chorus]
I'm a winner
And I made it to the top
And I took it all
Just like I planned
I'm the man who holds
The high card in his hand
[Chorus]
I'm the winner
I'm the winner
I'm the winner
(Look at me now)
I'm the winner
(Ooh, hoo)
I'm the winner
(Look at me now)
I'm the winner
(Ooh, hoo, yeah)
I'm the winner
(I'm the winner, baby)
I'm the winner
(Look at me now)
(Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!)
I'm the winner
(Look at me now)
