The Losing End (When You're On)

Lyrics: Neil Young
Music: Neil Young

Played by Luther Dickinson with Phil Lesh & Friends in November 2013 as part of their (and American Jubilee's) cover of the Neil Young album "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere".

I went into town to see you yesterday
But you were not home
So I talked to some old friends for a while
Before I wandered off alone

It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again

Well, I miss you more than ever since you've gone
I can hardly maintain
Things are different round here every night
My tears fall down like rain

It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again
