FAWM: "Bound To Lose"

Bound To Lose

Liner Notes

A little country-ish number put together with @sjbatavia for round one of "Random Collaborations" with instrumental aid from BIAB.

Lyrics

Bound To Lose Jeff Walker & Steve Johnston

V1 Lady Luck don’t miss a trick Life’s just a game of chance, my friend Sometimes I like to roll the dice The devil gets you in the end

V2 The irony’s not lost on me I broke so many hearts Now mine has a problem, too Damn thing’s prone to fits and starts

CH When lies and tempers flair Streaks of lightning fill the air No matter which path we choose In the end we’re bound to lose

V3 It all goes by so damn fast Married twice before I knew Shaky promises I didn’t mean Crossed my fingers and said I do

BR Now I’m taking time to fix The house I built made out of sticks Take a number, take a seat Count my blessings, every heartbeat I swear I’ll find a way to mend Bridges burned with family and friends

Oh wow these lyrics are soo good and you got a good pick with Jeff our master of laid back country. This works so well together

From the tag I assume you both got paired randomly - its like the flint and the steel - a spark and fire coming from a chance collision - I think V3 was the highlight for me, where you are living this experience and Jeff is expressing it so well through the music and his A++ voice. Very good job to both of you!

Great set of lyrics and one of the best vocalists here on FAWM--how can you go wrong. Well, you didn't! A great collaboration! ❤️

Gave me chills! Really touches… something. Wow! What a well-made random collab!

smooth and easy rendition by jeff of steve's lyric of domestic misfortune. the situation is pretty dismal until the bridge comes around at the near end with an incentive to patch things up and turn things around.
