Born To Lose
I was brought in this world 1962
I didn't have much choice, you to lose
But by the time I was eight
I could tell itwas 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
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 mama said I was a loser, a dead end cruiser
And deep inside I knew that she was right
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
I tried to get myself a job
Because the way that things are
Wanna have a 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 trouble bound for this young man
The police knocking at my door
"Well, he don't live he no more
And he's playin' in a rock and roll band"
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
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
I didn't have much choice, you to lose
But by the time I was eight
I could tell itwas 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
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 mama said I was a loser, a dead end cruiser
And deep inside I knew that she was right
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
I tried to get myself a job
Because the way that things are
Wanna have a 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

"Well, he don't live he no more
And he's playin' in a rock and roll band"
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
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
