Born To Lose (Album Version)

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.
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 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 know that she was right. 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.
I tried to get myself a job
Because that's the way that
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
Troublebound 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:
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.
