No Escape From The Blues

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
 You know I was born to lose
 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 you know I was born to lose
 For me there ain't no escape from the blues
 Well I broke down hungry
 I got to go out to the well yard
 I got to get myself a food stamp
 So I can buy myself a cup of coffee
 Well I can see I was born to lose
 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, no rent to pay
 They're changing my front door locks
 Well I can see I was born to lose
 For me there ain't no escape from the blues
