I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

Are you're lookin' 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 again' 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 Is 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 alright, no how No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
