Letra de Born to lose

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.
