(The Blues Means) Born to Lose |
A woman leaves and a woman comes in |
When the last one left I was glad she did |
She left a moment before I lost my mind |
No big-legged woman’s worth that much time |
My daughter held me, I tried to sleep |
I nodded off when finally she speaks |
«You've got to remember, dad, I know that you know |
Did mama ever say what she felt before she go?» |
I lost a friend he fell on hard times |
Ain’t no beggar in town even had one dime |
They walked fifty miles to talk to the man |
He said, «Don't misbehave and look happy when you can.» |
Clear your throat then lower your voice |
Speaking up’s just a matter of choice |
Leave your job, leave your town |
Throw out your shoes and crawl on the ground |
I left my dog and my daughter at home |
I went off to find anywhere I roam |
I never once met a lady who sings the blues |
I guess God never made a woman that’s born to lose |
I’m stuck on an isle with cowboys and thieves |
I piss in grass and I sleep in the leaves |
Sometimes I think I’m the only one that’s sane |
I’ll leave one day, but they’ll bring me back just the same |
I drive a truck with a crane and a noose |
I’ve got a cousin she’s Catholic and loose |
Sometimes I just can’t tell what it all means |
But I know they’ve got more in common than it seems |
I drove a bus for a couple of weeks |
And I lost the patterns of regular speech |
And my bones themselves began to fall weak |
I took the money and I bought my grave |
I thought I had a few hours to save |
But I fell right down, right there I lay |
