I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive Lyrics

Well, you're looking at a guy that's gotting kinda mad
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e67686-the_little_willies~ill_never_get_out_of_this_world_alive_lyrics.html ]
The fishing pole's broke
The creek is 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

A distant uncle passed away
He left me quite a batch
Yes, and I was living high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched

Everything's again me and it's got 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

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

These shabby shoes I'm wearing, Lord
Their full of holes and nails
Yes, and brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel, I could tell ya if it was heads or tails

If it was raining gold, I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

A distant uncle passed away
He left me quite a batch
And yes, I was living high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched

But I ain't gonna worry, wrinkles in my brow
Cause nothing's ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive
I'll never get out of this world alive
