Can't Win, Can't Place, Can't Show
My life's been all clouded over
With this awful luck I've had
I have turned into a rover
'Cause of things have been so bad
Life is nothing but a long hard race
And I'm a-running slow
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Can't win (can't win), got me shoved against the rail
Can't pace (can't place), trying hard but bound to fail
Can't show (can't show), hard looks got me that I know
Can't win, can't place, can't show
When a bad start made me stumble
All my friends that took the lead
It is 'cause my dreams to tumble
And my hopes are gone to sea
Ain't no use to bet on me
'Cause I won't finish in the dough
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Can't win (can't win), got me shoved against the rail
Can't pace (can't place), trying hard but bound to fail
Can't show (can't show), hard looks got me that I know
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Lots of healness, I'm a-breathin'
While in life's hard race I run
I ain't never made no money
And I never had no fun
When I leave this good old earth
I know where I'm bound to go
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Can't win (can't win), got me shoved against the rail
Can't pace (can't place), trying hard but bound to fail
Can't show (can't show), hard looks got me that I know
Can't win, can't place, can't show
With this awful luck I've had
I have turned into a rover
'Cause of things have been so bad
Life is nothing but a long hard race
And I'm a-running slow
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Can't win (can't win), got me shoved against the rail
Can't pace (can't place), trying hard but bound to fail
Can't show (can't show), hard looks got me that I know
Can't win, can't place, can't show
When a bad start made me stumble
All my friends that took the lead
It is 'cause my dreams to tumble
And my hopes are gone to sea
Ain't no use to bet on me
'Cause I won't finish in the dough
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Can't win (can't win), got me shoved against the rail
Can't pace (can't place), trying hard but bound to fail
Can't show (can't show), hard looks got me that I know
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Lots of healness, I'm a-breathin'
While in life's hard race I run
I ain't never made no money
And I never had no fun
When I leave this good old earth
I know where I'm bound to go
Can't win, can't place, can't show
Can't win (can't win), got me shoved against the rail
Can't pace (can't place), trying hard but bound to fail
Can't show (can't show), hard looks got me that I know
Can't win, can't place, can't show
