[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.
