I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive - Live

Now you're lookin' at a man gettin' kinda mad
I had 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 aunt and 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'd prob'ly drown

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

There's Lucky, go

Struggle and more struggle

That's Richard on the feel

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 nothing's ever gonna be alright no how

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

Leroy right there (thank you)
Leroy pressing on the boat (Leroy!)
That's great, that's, thank you, thank you, thank you, right
Ah, hope we're all feeling good out there tonight?
We're feeling just fine in here
I'll tell they got a, a great coke machine down here at the record player
If you ever uh...
It's got coca-cola and root beer, and ah, orange juice

We've been having a bar, right
We're gonna get right over here to uh
Our next tune that I'm gonna do
You all settle back into your easy chair, or your waterbeds, whatever
You know, and ah, turn the lights way down low, I'm tryna, you know
Set the stage there
I'm gonna do a little tune, it's a story tune
And I learned it from Red Shotton
It's a little tune all about a truck driver and hitchhiking
A thing called Phantom 309
