Behind The 8 Ball Lyrics

Calvin Russell Behind The 8 Ball

I was born behind the 8 ball
Headin' for a sure fall
Can't seem to care at all for nothin'
On the wrong side of the railroad track
Always somebody on my back
Always on the old black list for somethin'

I'm trying to live my life but it just makes me so wild &
mean
When I find there ain't no truth in these things that
I've seen
Livin' for livin' that's all that I understand
Don't you fall for me honey I'm just an outlaw man

Well I guess I was born to lose
Everything 'cept my lonesome blues
Everybody got to pay some dues of some kind
I've paid more than my share
No one said that life was fair
Hard to find a soul who cares some time

I'm trying to live my life but it just makes me so wild &
mean
When I find there ain't no truth in these things that
I've seen
Livin' for livin' that's all that I understand
Don't you fall for me honey I'm just an outlaw man
