"Well someone made a mistake |
|
When they said life was a bowl of fruit |
|
You know I had to go downtown |
|
And pawn my last suit |
|
You know I was born to lose |
|
For me there ain't no escape from the blues |
|
|
|
You know I haven't seen or heard from my woman |
|
Since the last day I got paid |
|
She said son if you ain't got no money |
|
I ain't gonna hang around and be your maid |
|
Well you know I was born to lose |
|
For me there ain't no escape from the blues |
|
|
|
Well I broke down hungry |
|
I got to go out to the well yard |
|
I got to get myself a food stamp |
|
So I can buy myself a cup of coffee |
|
Well I can see I was born to lose |
|
For me there ain't no escape from the blues |
|
|
|
You know I had worn out my shoes |
|
And now I'm wearing out my socks |
|
Well I ain't got no rent to pay, no rent to pay |
|
They're changing my front door locks |
|
Well I can see I was born to lose |
|
For me there ain't no escape from the blues |
|
