lyrics

Born in a ghost town by the desert and the county jail
No work no place to go, no matter how hard i tried
Didn't know how to save my skin and I robbed a man at a trading post
Arrested me at the border but I tell you I didn’t hurt no one

The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win


I got shattered into pieces, when I was in the county jail
As soon as they let me go, they busted me for the same robbery 
No hope no place to hide, no matter how good I was
Never cried when they flogged me 'cause i know how to numb my pain


The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win

Born in a ghost town by the desert and the county jail
No work no place to go, no matter how hard i tried
Didn't know how to save my skin and I robbed a man at a trading post
Arrested me at the border but I tell you I didn’t hurt no one


The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
The deck is stacked against you, know that you can't win
