Lyrics

I was brought in this world 1962
I didn't have much choice you see
But by the time I was eight
I could tell it was too late
I was already barking up the wrong tree
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
Chorus:
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 a second chance
It was a hot summer night in mid july
A hangover and a black eye
Your momma said I was a loser
A dead end cruiser, and deep inside I know that she was right
Chorus:
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 a second chance
I tried to get myself a job
Because that's the way that
Things are, wanna have 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 a
Troublebound for this young
Man. the police knockin' at my
Door, "well he don't live here no
More, and he's playin' in a rock 'n'
Roll band."
Chorus:
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 a second chance
