Sucker Born

(album: Black Wind Howlin' - 2013)

Vegas left me weary, LA bled me dry
Skating on fumes as I crossed the Nevada line
Witness left me hanging, like nobody seen
The place where I stood when I sold you all my dreams

Think you're gonna come on down
Think you're gonna show me round
I'd like to give you a piece of my mind
Think you're in it to win it
Sucker born every minute
Child gonna burn you every time

Little miss know it all
A cross I came to bear
Spot you from a mile out
They got tricks out there
He drowned in the desert
I truly believed
I tried to bring him up
Then he brought me to my knees

Say you're gonna come on down
Think you're gonna show me round
I'd like to give you a piece of my mind
Think you're in it to win it
Sucker born every minute
Child gonna burn you every time
Buckle up now

Gasing up at a busted up station
Outskirts of town
Rolled me for my last fifty
Had me fallen down
Get you coming and going
It's a gamblers disease
I thought for a second that
I'd get what I need, ohh

Think you're gonna come on down
Say you're gonna show me round
I'd like to give you a piece of my mind
Think you're in it to win it
Sucker born every minute
Child gonna burn you every time

Should have stayed gone
Never tried to right that wrong
They gonna eat you up alive
But you got time to kill
And a big hole to fill
Don't say I didn't try, no
Burn him up, babe
