Born To Be Unlucky Songtext - Larry Norman

Born To Be Unlucky - Larry Norman

I was born about eighteen years ago

In a little wooden shack
I was born about eighteen years ago
On the wrong side of the tracks

And i never knew my father

And i never had a home

Well i don't know where i came from

And i don't know where i'm goin'



I was born to be unlucky

From my shoulders to my shoes

And i guess i'm stuck with my unlucky blues

When i was just a young boy

I was raised on beans and trout

And on my seventh birthday

Well my momma, she threw me out

They say i'm good for nothin'

No one treats me kind

I don't care cause pretty soon

I'm gonna leave this world behind



I was born to be unlucky
From my shoulders to my shoes
And i guess i'm stuck with my unlucky blues



I jumped into the river

To try to put myself away

A man jumped in and saved me

Spoiled a perfect day
He dragged me to the river's edge

He said he knew i had a need

Then he pulled out a soggy Bible
And that man began to read


Well he told me things i did not know

I'm glad i did not die

'cause he told me God's my father

And my real home is in the sky
And i said

Harmonica and lead guitar speak

He said i done a very foolish thing
To try to drown myself and die
And i told him i was glad

He happened to be passing by

He said God would forgive me
So i repented of my sin

Then he said i must be baptized
And he threw me in again

Awww i was born to be unlucky
From my shoulders to my shoes

I thought i must be stuck with these unlucky blues
Oh yeh

Lead guitar break

My life has changed in many ways
I'm such a different man

Well i know now who my father is
And i know just where i stand
With one foot up in Heaven

And one foot on the ground

I travel through this world of ours
I try to spread God's word around



I was born to be unlucky (i know'd it)

From my shoulders to my shoes
But i came unstuck from my unlucky blues
Yea
Ow and maybe you can too...alright
And this is just the beginning
