No Escape From The Blues

Lyrics for 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
