I Was Born To Lose

If good folks go to heaven
and bad folks go to hell
i'm going straight to the gutter
or atleast that's how i'll smell
cause I aint got a dime to my name
but I still try my best
to shake the noose of financial loss
the death of my freedom called debt

but I've got these same three chords
and Lord knows I've got the truth
singing songs about my downfall
I was born to lose

how many loves have come and gone
what friends have slipped away
I thank them all for moving on
the won't cross my mind today
like the whiskey in my bloodstream
that keeps me feeling numb
I couldn't care less when the sun goes down
if tomorrow never comes

but I've got these same three chords
and Lord knows I've got the truth
singing songs about my downfall
I was born to lose

take the food right off my table
take the keys to my car
but I promise you this, i'll kill you *****
if you so much as look at my guitar
you can take my home put me on the street
don't even give me bread
you want the truth, i'll tell you the truth
walmart wants me dead

but I've got these same three chords
and Lord knows I've got the truth
singing songs about my downfall
I was born to lose

Great lyrics, hope more people read this. Thanks for posting it.

Nice job! It seems to me a blues rock song that can use some blistering Stevie Ray Vaughan like guitar solo's.
