Lyrics
don t you come to me cryin
and some born to lose
he said some are born to win
Poor boy blues, almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat i swear Blues, i ve lived uptown
Cause money don t make you a happy man, almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat i swear Poor, sure as i m standing here
until someone gets me out of this jam
at least i get three square meals
He said the grass is always greener, any place except where you stand, friday night i get tanked up and tossed in the local slam
Any place except where you stand, cause money don t make you a happy man
He said the grass is always greener, i believe it s due time i get my mansion in ole bel air Blues, until someone gets me out of this jam
In the meanwhile all my green, and some born to lose
Lord i ve lived everywhere, my daddy said Poor, he said the grass is always greener
any place except where you stand
until you re wearing my shoes
You don t know how i m feeling baby, and some born to lose
don t hurt yourself now c
Until someone gets me out of this jam, friday night i get tanked up and tossed in the local slam
and some born to lose
cause money don t make you a happy man
and sing them poor boy blues
and some born to lose
he said the grass is always greener
You don t know how i m feeling baby, he said some are born to win
Don t you come to me cryin, i got them poor boy blues, until you re wearing my shoes
