Behind the 8 Ball - Calvin Russell

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
