[offset:-100]
[00:13.2] Well, you're lookin' at a guy that's gottin' kind-a mad
[00:18.0] I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
[00:22.2] No matter how I struggle and strive
[00:26.6] I'll never get out of this world alive
[00:31.7] The fishin' pole's broke
[00:33.4] The creek is full of sand
[00:36.1] My woman ran away with another man
[00:40.1] No matter how I struggle and strive
[00:44.5] I'll never get out of this world alive
[00:49.8] A distant uncle passed away
[00:54.1] He left me quite a batch
[00:58.3] Yes, and I was livin'g high until that fatal day
[01:02.6] A lawyer proved I wasn't born
[01:05.1] I was only hatched
[01:08.0] Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down
[01:12.1] If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown
[01:16.5] No matter how I struggle and strive
[01:20.7] I'll never get out of this world alive
[01:43.7] These shabby shoes I'm wearin', Lord
[01:48.6] Their full of holes and nails
[01:52.8] Yes, and brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
[01:57.3] I bet a nickel, I could tell ya if it was heads or tails
[02:01.8] If it was rainin' gold, I wouldn't stand a chance
[02:06.6] I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
[02:11.1] No matter how I struggle and strive
[02:15.5] I'll never get out of this world alive
[02:38.6] A distant uncle passed away
[02:43.1] He left me quite a batch
[02:47.6] And yes, I was livin'g high until that fatal day
[02:52.0] A lawyer proved I wasn't born
[02:54.3] I was only hatched
[02:56.8] But I ain't gonna worry, wrinkles in my brow
[03:01.2] 'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow
[03:06.0] No matter how I struggle and strive
[03:10.3] I'll never get out of this world alive
[03:15.2] I'll never get out of this world alive
