Born To Lose Lyrics

I was brough 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

When I was in school you thought I was a fool
In trouble, breaking all  the rules
I was absent fromlass
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 a 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 she was right

CHORUS

I tried to get myself a job
Because that's the way things are
Wanna have nice things and go far
Well I'm sorry honey, I ain'T got much money
But I can sure play this here old guitar

As the years went on, I made a few mistakes
It was a troubledbound 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."

CHORUS
