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.
