Lyrics
May the Best Man Win
They drove the same car
Fueled by ambition
Both started with a full tank
Same starting position
Yet he got further faster
’Cause what he supplied
Was more in demand
Is that the simple reason why?
There’ all kinds of women in no man’s land
Left to their own devices
On either side is an all-boys band
Girls just don’t get invited
May the best man win
May the best man win
Got on the same train
Bound for the same destination
There wasn’t anybody waving flags
As she rolled into the station
While his fan club was waiting
Came by just to lend a hand
Her bags weren’t that heavy
So she took it like a man
It’s crowded with women in no mans’ land
Wearing pant and growing balls
They don’t get anywhere near the bandstand
No they just don’t get the call
We’re all kinds of women in no man’s land
Working hard and growing tall
We may not blend in with the boys in the band
But we’re ready to play ball
May the best man win
May the best man win
We’re ready now, so ready now
We’re ready now, so ready now
