Words and music by Andrew Dutney

lyrics

Watch your step, please sir.
Watch where you walk, please mister.
'Cos though the road will rise to meet you,
the street strives to defeat you.
You're not a tourist, but a pilgrim
leaving home.

I've seen the best men disappear
while the worst can persevere.
They're made to look like such fools
by the ones who make the rules.
Who's to win and who's to lose?
Who could ever choose?

What's the good of being strong
when the world just rolls along
never scratching, never scarring,
never jolting, never jarring?
Who's to win and who's to lose?
Who could ever choose?

One day you're going to count the cost,
tally everything you've lost,
number every scar and bruise.
We call it, paying your dues.
Who's to win and who's to lose?
Who could ever choose?
