Born To Lose

Porter Wagoner · Thin Man From the West Plains (Bear Family) [1993]

(Frankie Brown)



Born to lose I live my life in vain

Ev'ry dream has only brought me pain

All my life I've always been so blue

Born to lose and now I'm losin' you.



Born to lose it seems so hard to bear

How I long to always have you near

You've grown tired and now you say we're through

Born to lose and now I'm losing you.



--- Instrumental ---



Born to lose my ev'ry hope is gone

It's so hard to face an empty dawn

You were all the happiness I knew

Born to lose and now I'm losin' you.



There's no use to dream of happiness

All I see is only loneliness

All my life I've always been so blue

Born to lose and now I'm losin' you...
