Behind the 8 Ball

(Calvin Russell)

INTRO 2x E E G G A A E E
 
I WAS BORN BEHIND THE 8 BALL
HEADIN' FOR A SHURE FALL
CAN'T SEEM TO CARE AT ALL FOR NOTHIN'
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACK
ALWAYS SOMEBODY ON MY BACK
I'M ALWAYS ON THE OLD BLACK LIST FOR E SOMETHIN'
 
REFRAIN
I'M TRYIN TO LIVE MY LIFE AND IT JUST
MAKES ME SO WILD AND MEAN
WHEN I FIND THERE AIN'T NO TRUTH
IN THESE THINGS I'VE SEEN
 
LIVIN' FOR LIVIN'
THAT'S ALL THAT I UNDERESTAND
DON'T YOU FALL FOR ME HONEY
I'M JUST AN OUTLAW MAN
 
E G G A A E E (GIT-SOLO)
 
VERSE
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 SOUL
WHO CARES SOME TIMES
 
REFRAIN
I'M TRYIN TO LIVE MY LIFE
AND IT MAKES ME SO WILD AND MEAN
WHEN I FIND THERE AIN'T NO TRUTH
LIVIN' FOR LIVIN'
IS ALL THAT I UNDERSTAND
DON'T YOU FALL FOR ME HONEY
I'M JUST AN OUTLAW MAN
