Stephen Jones - (The Blues Means) Born to Lose lyrics

[Verse 1] 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." [Bridge 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 gra** 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 [Bridge 2] 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
