I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive - Hank Williams Jr.
Now, you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad I had a lot a luck but it's all been bad No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive My fishin' pole's broke, the creek is full of sand My woman run away with another man No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive My distant uncle passed away And left me quite a batch And I was livin' high until the fatal day A lawyer proved I wasn't born, I was only hatched Everything's agin 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 These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time Is full of holes and nails And brother, if I stepped on worn-out dime I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow 'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no-how No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
