Losing Streak

Adam Brand

Album: Adam Brand Durasi: 2:34

That tinpot town went and spat me out

Onto that eastern track

My Dad, he gave me a month or two

Before the city spat me back

A flat bed truck picked me up

And I crossed the great divide

I had three good days 'til I spent my pay

Now I'm on a downward slide

Oh, I'm on a losing streak

I'm down a paddle, I'm up the creek

Mercy be, I'm on a losing streak

The city don't place any worth

On a small town roustabout

I've never seen so many folks

But so few who'll help you out

Got a kitchen job to earn a bob

Doing nine hours every night

I called my Dad about six weeks in

And said "Ya mongrel, you were right!"

Oh, I'm on a losing streak

Down a paddle, I'm up the creek

Mercy be, I'm on a losing streak

Oh, I'm on a losing streak

Down a paddle, I'm up the creek

Mercy be, I'm on a losing streak

Lord, have mercy
