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
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 no 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 knew that she was right
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 no 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 noMore
and he's playin' in a rock 'n'Roll band."
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 no second chance
