Story behind the song
Just a fun song. No life changing lyrics here.
Lyrics
I been listenin' to the radio - waitin' on that sound
Gotta be the fifteenth caller, win that money they're passin' 'round.
The phone rings, it's my boss man, say's I got a job no more.
While he's on the phone, they play that sound - somebody else won the dough.
I lost again.
I've played that Texas Lotto - played the one in Florida, too.
I play the "scratch-n'win", but scratch is all I ever do.
I've even been to Vegas, tried my luck there at the wheel,
But when that ball stopped rollin' they said, "Man you know the deal,
You lost again."
I've done everything that's come along
Tryin' to be a rich man,
But I lost again.
I went to Ruidoso - placed a bet there at the track
The man said, "Bet on Sweet Thing, she'll win and that's a fact."
So I wagered all my money, right on down to my last dime.
Sweet Thing led until the end, but when they crossed the line
I lost again.
Now they say desperate times they call for desperate measures in the end,
So I tried to rob that bank - now I'm sittin' in the pen.
My girl she left and took with her my pickup and my dog.
Now everything I owned is gone and all that just because
I lost again.
I've done everything that's come along
Tryin' to be a rich man
But I lost again
I lost again
Tell me will I ever win
I lost again.
