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
