Born in the wrong place in the wrong time He never ever had a chance to shine He never had the time so he could think His sun would never set without a drink In his hand, to see him through the night Daddy's gone, his mother never cared Seven others in that house but no one's ever there They never asked why he raised hell They just locked him in a cell So far away from anywhere On the one way road he was on he kept on going No one had the time to slow him down The only luck he ever seen was bad But you just can't miss what you've never had That aint rock n'roll, that's just real life, that's his life That ain't rock n'roll that's his life He never had a prayer right from the start A cigarette and a beer in his hand the day the doctor fixed his heart They gave him back a few more years And this old world won't see his tears Now he's gone and played his part On the one way road he was on he kept on going No one had the time to slow him down The only luck he ever seen was bad But you just can't miss what you've never had That aint rock n'roll, that's just real life, that's his life That ain't rock n'roll that's his life
