=========================================
Now you're looking at a
man that's getting kinda mad
I had lots of luck
but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out
of this world alive
My fishing 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 living high
until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched
Everything's against me
and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river
I would probably drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out
of this world alive
These shabby shoes
I'm wearing all the time
It's 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
'cause nothing's ever
gonna be all right no how
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out
of this world alive
