| [00:07.97] |
I was brought in this world 1962, |
| [00:12.26] |
I didn't have much choice you see. |
| [00:16.09] |
But by the time |
| [00:17.78] |
I was eight, |
| [00:18.55] |
I could tell it was too late, |
| [00:20.33] |
I was already barking up the wrong tree. |
| [00:24.27] |
When I was in school you thought |
| [00:26.56] |
I was a fool, |
| [00:27.02] |
In trouble, |
| [00:29.14] |
Breaking all the rules. |
| [00:32.41] |
I was absent from class, |
| [00:34.40] |
My daddy spanked my bare ass, |
| [00:36.14] |
But I sure tried hard to be cool. chorus: |
| [00:40.85] |
Born to lose, was what they said, |
| [00:44.48] |
You know I was better off dead. |
| [00:49.03] |
Born to lose, you're just bad news, |
| [00:52.33] |
You don't get a second chance. |
| [00:58.79] |
It was a hot summer night in mid |
| [01:00.25] |
July, A hangover and a black eye. |
| [01:06.84] |
Your momma said |
| [01:07.53] |
I was a loser, |
| [01:09.35] |
A dead end cruiser, |
| [01:11.30] |
And deep inside |
| [01:12.14] |
I know that she was right. chorus: |
| [01:15.44] |
Born to lose, was what they said, |
| [01:19.15] |
You know I was better off dead. |
| [01:23.60] |
Born to lose, you're just bad news, |
| [01:27.21] |
You don't get a second chance. |
| [02:07.75] |
I tried to get myself a job |
| [02:09.82] |
Because that's the way that |
| [02:11.92] |
Things are, wanna have nice |
| [02:13.48] |
Things and go far. |
| [02:15.99] |
Well I'm sorry |
| [02:17.38] |
Honey, I ain't got much money |
| [02:19.90] |
But I can sure play this here old |
| [02:24.46] |
Guitar. As the years went on, |
| [02:26.30] |
I Made a few mistakes it was a |
| [02:28.78] |
Troublebound for this young |
| [02:30.90] |
Man. The police knockin' at my |
| [02:33.78] |
Door, "Well he don't live here no More, and he's playin' in a rock 'n' Roll band." chorus: |
| [02:40.67] |
Born to lose, was what they said, |
| [02:44.35] |
You know I was better off dead. |
| [02:48.84] |
Born to lose, you're just bad news, |
| [02:55.96] |
You don't get a second chance. |
