Текст песни: I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive + перевод

Now you’re looking at a man that’s getting kinda mad

I had a 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

Well, my fishing pole’s broke, creek’s full of sand

My woman ran away with another man

No matter how I struggle and strive

I’ll never get out of this world alive

Well, my distant uncle passed away

He left me quite a batch

I was living high until that fatal day

A lawyer proved I wasn’t born, I was only hatched

Everything’s against me and it’s gotten 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

Shake it, baby

Play the guitar, boys, play it, play it

These old shabby shoes, I’m wearing all the time

They’re full of holes and nails

Hey, brother if I stepped on a worn out dime

I bet a nickel, I could tell ya if it was heads or tails

And I ain’t gonna worry, wrinkles in my brow

'Cause nothing’s ever gonna be bright anyhow

No matter how I struggle and strive

I’ll never get out of this world alive

No matter how I struggle and strive

I’ll never get out of this world alive

Alive
