Rodney DeCroo Loser and the Tennessee Girl lyrics

I met a girl down in Tennessee,
she said I know how you feel and she smiled at me.
I stayed awhile, I didn't take too much,
just that smile, it was enough.

You gave me my name then spit on the ground,
then turned your back and said I'll see you around.
Just a born loser, yeah that's a fact.
I hit the road early and I never looked back.

Back in Pittsburgh I almost died,
I hit the wrong bar and I hit the wrong guy.
He cut me six times with his hunting knife,
he took all my money, but he left me my life.

I worked in the mines and I worked on the rails,

I've been in soup lines, I've been in jail.
I've been everywhere and sometimes twice,
I slept beneath the stars and the city lights.

Sometimes once I'd like to go back,
but everybody knows it don't work like that.
My name is Abel, my name is Cain,
I'm the snow, I'm the highway, I'm the pouring rain.

I met a girl way down in Tennessee,
She said I know how you feel and she smiled at me.
I stayed awhile, I didn't take too much,
just that smile it was enough.
