I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad
I had a lot 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 fishin' 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

My distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
And I was livin' high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched

Everything's a-gettin' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would probablyly drown

No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

These shabby shoes I'm wearin' 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 nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow

No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

And that's the truth
