I let a life slip through my fingers Where am I gonna turn? I'm the causing of the trouble And it makes my poor heart burn I been trying to tell you people That the blues hit me in my life You know I was born for trouble And it's a hard road till I die I've loved and lost so many women The cause of many broken heart Drank and drifted through the years And watched my family fall apart I'm gonna pack up my suitcase Put my misery inside Throw in a bit of pain and trouble And that's the road I'll ride
