Born To Lose Lyrics

     I was brought in this world 1962,
     I didn't have much choice you see.
     But by the time I was eight,
     I could tell it was too late,
     I was already barking up the wrong tree.
     Well, when I was in school you thought I was a fool,
     In trouble, breaking all the rules.
     I was absent from class,
     My daddy spanked my bare ass,
     But I sure tried hard to be cool.
CHORUS:  Born to lose, was what they said,
         You know I was better off dead.
         Born to lose, You're just bad news,
         You don't get no second chance.
     It was a hot summer night in mid July,
     A hangover and a black eye.
     Your momma said I was a loser,
     A dead end cruiser,
     And deep inside I knew that se was right.
REPEAT CHORUS:
     I try to get myself a job,
     Because of the way that things are,
     Would I have nice things and go far?
     Well, I'm sorry honey,
     I ain't got much money,
     But I can sure play this here ol' guitar.
     As the years went on,
     I make a few mistakes.
     It was trouble bound for this young man.
     The police knockin' at my door,
     Well, he don't live here no more,
     And he's playin' in a rock n' roll band.
REPEAT CHORUS X2:
