No Escape from the Blues

歌詞

Well someone made a mistake When they said life was a bowl of fruit You know I had to go downtown And pawn my last suit Well, I could see I was born to lose And for me there ain't no escape from the blues You know I haven't seen or heard from my woman Since the last day I got paid She said son if you ain't got no money I ain't gonna hang around and be your maid Well, I could see I was born to lose For me there ain't no escape from the blues Well I'm broke and I'm hungry I got to go to the welfare yard You know, I got to get myself a few stamps So I can buy myself a cup of coffee Well, you know I can see I was born to lose And for me there ain't no escape from the blues You know I had worn out my shoes And now I'm wearing out my socks Well I ain't got no rent to pay I ain't got no job Well, I can see I was born to lose And for me there ain't no escape from the blues
