That’s the way we spell success
Will we get it the answers yes
S-u-c-c-e-s-s
Small town boy so clean he squeaks
Dressed and polished for the big time dreams
Got a letter from his mama and a boyish grin
Close his eyes one minute and it’ll lead him to the win yeah
You know there’s nothin’ like heaven that won’t get you back
So you get your ass in gear and your mind on track
When wheels start turning things start to falling into place
You’ll be suprised what you can do with some intelligence and taste Yeah
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys
finish first
Back door logic turn your head around
Use the front door and avoid the crowds
They’re trying to tell you that it can’t be done
Beat the big boys at their own game is half the fun hey hey
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys finish first
The good guys the good guys
the good guys, finish first
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Walkin’ a straight line in reverse
You know that, sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys finish first
