Yet another cookie-tin rave-up. I wrote this song just after my divorce, 13 years ago. It certainly taxes the abilities of the Flip Video microphone. Hang in...

Thanks, everybody. I like the tone of this guitar, as an electric. I turn the tone knob down to about 3 or 4 to get a "growlier" response from it. It is quite metallic-sounding, acoustically (imagine that!), and it can really scream if you dime the tone knob while playing through the amp. But, it's a bit too screechy for my tastes, at that setting.
One thing I am really working on is balancing vocals and instrumental, where everything comes through. I was hoping that amping the vocals would help...

Good lyrics, Jon, long enough to tell the story ~ and some times, all too true.
Got a motto for us: "Three strings, three chords and the truth." Hmmm. Three beers? Three ?
Thanks, Uncle John. There aren't a whole lot of words to this song. But, here they are:
CHORUS:
I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win
I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win
Try so hard, I tell you it's a sin
VERSE ONE:
I get up, I get knocked down again
I get up, I get knocked down again
I try so hard, I tell you it's a sin
VERSE TWO:
Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin
Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin
The bottle is empty, Lord I just can't win
