S-U-C-C-E-S-S 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 PRESSED and polished for the big time dreams Got a letter from his MAMA, and a boyish grin Close his eyes FOR A minute, and it'll lead him to the win (???) Yeah
You know there's nothin' like HAVIN' THAT WALL AGAINST YOUR BACK To GET your ass in gear, and your mind on track When wheels start turnin', things start FALLIN' into place YOU'D be suprised what you can do WITH SOME INTELLIGENCE AND TASTE Yeah
Chorus:
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 TURNED your head around Use the front door and avoid the crowds They'll TRY to tell you that it can't be done BEATIN' the big boys at their own game is half the fun, hey hey
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
The Good Guys, the Good Guys, the Good Guys, Finish First
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
