Jimmie Dale Gilmore - I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive lyrics

Well, you're lookin' at a guy that's 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 A distant uncle pa**ed away, he left me quite a batch Yes I was livin' high until that fatal day A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched Everything's agin' 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 wearin' all Are full of holes and nails Yes and brother if I stepped on a worn out dime I bet a nickel I could tell you if it's heads or tails If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive A distant uncle pa**ed away, he left me quite a batch And yes I was livin' high until that fatal day A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow 'Cause nothing's ever gonna turn out alright now No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive I'll never get out of this world alive
