Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind a mad I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world a live. My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand My woman run away with another man No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive. A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch And I was livin'g high until that fatal day A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched. Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive. These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time Are full of holes and nails And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails. I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow Letras de canciones'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive. I could buy a Sunday suit and it would leave me broke If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive. If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive. From Letras Mania
