Beautiful Loser Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Reynaldo 

Cover art for Beautiful Loser lyrics by Bob Seger

I think that the songwritter is "hating" on this guy because this guy is going for everything and living it up in so many ways. The writter is trying to convince this guy to give up (or choose one way or the other) because he doesn't have any ambition or ability to keep up with him. This guy is the quintessential "golden boy" and it pisses him off.
