Lang, Jonny - A Quitter Never Wins Lyrics

Lyrics
Seems like now days ain't nothing meant to last
one day you've got it all and then it disappears so fast
and you know our love is on and off again
well I know you wanna quit me, baby
but a quitter never wins

Well, you've walked out on our loving
but I've stayed through thick and thin
and you know our love is on and off again
I know you want to quit me
but a quitter never wins

Seems like now days love is a word that no one means
ya said you'd never leave me
then ya upped and walked right out on me
and now our love is on and off again
well, I know you wanna quit me
but a quitter never wins

Well, I know you wanna quit me baby
but a quitter never wins
a quitter never wins

Everyone saying Stevie Ray as inspiration. This song, the tone, the style, the progressions seem to draw from one musician only, and that musician would be Buddy Guy

I love Jonny Lang. True blue artist'. His lyrics are fantastic. I would love to see him an Joss Stone do an music video together.

Charlene Peone they did a cover of When Love Comes to Town with Herbie Hancock

When I first heard of Johnny Lang he s my biggest fan of all times Matthew miravalle

one of his best heart breaking blues

JOHNNY LANG OPENED FOR THE ROLLING STONES IN FARGO ND.HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES..HE WAS PLAYING IN THE BARS IN FARGO ND AT 13 YEARS OLD TALENT BEYOND....

Fazla guzelsin Johny🍭

I 💘 this Blues jam

Love it !!

One of my fav songs ever!!! he is awesome singer and a badass guitarist....blues is awesome...dude u get off on this guitar....WOW...need I say more....speaks for itself....sing it bro

I agree with all the comments I have read, For a young man He is So Very Seasoned...I just Love Listening to Him and his Guitar..Would Love to see him Live. I am sure he is worth every penny.

Amazing brother he gives me Ghost Bumps

Saw him in 1999 at hard Rock Cafe in San Antonio it was Awesome he was 17 at the Time. Love the blues. Keep playing. Thank you. Buda tx 2018.

Best version is the studio cut.

no longer 15 now a man, still exceptional in his music, talent like this does last after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excelente

Been listing to JL for almost a decade and still can't get enough from his songs. It's like quenching your thrust drinking sea water...

I love Tinsley Ellis, but I'm sorry...Johnny's version is far better. At least to my ears it is.

Brandon Crimmins No! Both are almost as good. TINSLEY is better on guitar; Jonny on singing.

why have I not heard him till now???? 👍🎶

Marcia D don’t know he’s been around since he’s 13-14 and he’s in his 30’s now married with a bunch of kids. Tours relentlessly.

Yeah Baby!

LOVE THE BLUES!!!!

ballad!!! awesome!!

love the guitars and song...

one of my favorites

qui sème le vent récolte la tempête

excluded , persecuted

Saw the kid  summer 96 w/ BB, 10o clock come around, said kid couldn't play, some labor law bullshit, BB was pissed , and said it

I have every album Jonny Lang has recorded he is one of my favorites and he was only sixteen when he first recorded amazing and he just keeps getting better and better

When the word gifted is used he is that,  I mean he is exceptional and he is singing and playing!  No offense but he play the hell out of a guitar!

Tinsley Ellis may have written this song, but Johnny Lang at 16 years old did vocals and guitar on this. So great!

I want the old Jonny Lang before he went gospel, come back jonny.

+troylene atkins Heathen!

Too much brightness is bound to burn out quick. There's a reason so many great musicians are dead at 27. I also loved his earlier music better, but there's still the odd song I like, and while he lives, there's still a chance he'll come back to his roots.

This guy is super and as stated onver all pretty young.

this should have been his first single

How can someone so young have so much soul?

Right! Heard him live in Charleston last night-sooo talented! His range in unbelievable!

Great artist love his music

I remember when he got his first hit, I loved his playing, and voice than I saw him on T. V. I was shocked, he was just a baby! It blew me away.

Love it a quitter never wins.

wow,wow, bf makes his instrument talk. loveit! gi gi

Thank you Todd Suire...love it more now.

Praise him. with the Instruments!

Written and performed by a guy that helped Jonny get started, his name is Tinsley Ellis. Please check him out!

+robert rohde tinsley ellis just kicks ass!

+robert rohde caught tinsley in kitchener last summer,first time, my chin dropped 6 inches.

@robert rohde,
Thanks man! :-)

I'm in love

so fucking nice...I'm in Colorado smoking caviar drinking vodka listening to this kid groove.

Pretty good for a 15 year old kid!

thank goodness the blues torch has kept burning and being passed on through generations. He really is something special, and I hope he knows it.

hes not 15 years old anymore lol

melts my soul

~Glorious Toxic Blues To Melt My Heart By~

THIS is true music.

You got that right,,this is real music

Wonderful Guitarist and singer!!!!!!!

"A quitter never wins"...
Why did he quit drugs then?

Jonny continues to be my inspiration. (Go Jonny!) It's been years since I've been immersed in your songs....so I just gotta ask myself....where have I been!! This is and has always been my favorite song. Everything I ever got from your music is in this song. Hey, I know it's been a while...but how ya doin' viperass!

my sister sent this song to me...the guitar and piano grabbed me from the beginning...and then he starts singing :-) Love it...

".... a quitter never wins Well, you've walked out on our loving'. But I've stayed through thick and thin " Lets have another drink to the quitter.

to the core! hard blues. I LOVE IT! Brings me back, towhen I used to hit the blues bar down the street. What good time that was, live music, cold drinks, & dim lights..mmm hmmm. I even got to sing more than a few times with them. Miss it. T Y for posting this. :)

Excellent!

LOve Love Love Jonny Lang!!!!!!!!!

I dont drink or go to clubs, I just dig the blues, and this young man's talent amazes me!

I never get tired of this one :-)))

Quoting: i feel like i should be in a smokie club watching some stunningly gorgeous girl slowly strip. this song gets my blood flowing. tinsley is a genius, but johnnie makes it happen. a very very old soul. just listen to that solo. goosebumps.

Excellent comment (I'm a female), yet, this just "fits" your description :-)))

@TheTallMan35 Shit yes, no marb for me..its a big old cigar. But im on board for the whiskey..damn this is a soulful song..i cant get enough

Jonny Lang lets us see his soul every time he sings..... I really like what I see....

it's clear that his influence is Steve Ray Vaug.

Johnny Lang is a God!!

sexiest music ever.
gives me some serious goosebumps

Man this guy is amazing!!

@PATandBRENDA Check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd =)

@PATandBRENDA Check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd =)

Been listening to him since he came out. Just the best...

the whole album is rifted(no pun intended)with some heart felt and understood blues

this music makes me do striptease !

@spudgun2006 Yup. Me too. I have faith in the music world once again.

@PATandBRENDA joe bonamassa, jeff healey, tab benoit, those are a few. though noone you find is gonna sing with the passion that jonny does.

Love this song! every time I hear it, I remember blues dancing to it in a small house in Orlando that was converted into a dance studio for a lindy exchange. One of the best blues songs right here!

@PATandBRENDA
philip sayce!

@TheTallMan35 At a blues club in Chicago where the only silence in broken by the sound of blues guitar and the roar of the EL tracks near the club. At least that's how I would imagine it.

johnny lang is a cool dude plays with soul.. and you should hear this thru his vocals and playing.

@Darrenteed Know exactly what you mean, for the first time in a couple of years decided to Youtube Jonny to see if he ahd any new stuff, was devastated when i heard the horrible dribble that he's been making lately, religion has a lot to answer for!

@nyse41685 Jonny is lead singer and lead guitar the young man is awesome would love seeing him play

@Mrstratman44 I AGREE

This song just speaks to me. Just had my heart broken by a woman and every line rings true.

It just doesn't get any better than Johnny Lang playing.

@therob176 Well - IfI remember correctly, Johnny only plays the guitar, he's not the lead singer...

@Mrstratman44 ...with a glass of Tennessee whiskey, puffing on a Marlboro reminiscing about the woman who broke your heart. Take us there.

whoohoo, love me some blues, played it on keyboards for years.....never heard of Jonny Lang either, but I like a lot.....smiles

If you want to hear the man who wrote this song check out Tinsley Ellis. He has a website on Myspace and is on tour right now in the southeast. Aug and Sept '10. He is a great player and a personable guy. Saw him Sat.note 8-28-10. Blew us all away

@jopo725 ditto. he's got some chops, but not much that hasn't been done before

I wish he would have stuck with this old school blues influence. He shows flashes of blues brilliance here, and Ive seen him do it live twice. Too bad blues is so forgotten nowadays, it is sad that people don't realize how important this genre is to all forms of music.

brilliant :o)

heard johnny lang for the first time yesterday and all i could say was wow!

@diazcamille While I agree with that sentiment for the most part and do admit this is kinda late to be saying this (seven months after you wrote it), but you oughta tell that to his accountant.

Thanks for posting this

I'm loving this album you posted from Jonny, again thanks for the publish.
