i was brought in this world 1962.
i didnt 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, youre just bad news,
you dont 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 knew that she was right.
i tried to get myself a job
because thats 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 dont live here no more,
and he's playin in a rock'n'roll band"
