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. Dressed and polished for the big time dreams. Got a letter from his ma 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. To you get your ass in gear and your mind on track. When wheels start turnin' things start to fall into place. You'll be suprised what you can do and some talents all it takes. 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 on logic turn your head around. Use the front door and avoid the crowds. They'll be tryin' to tell you that it can't be done. Cause the big boys on their own gave us 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). From the movie soundtrack "The Secret Of My Success" (1987).
