Pre-Verse
Tell you a story about winnin? and losin?
Choices and choosin?
Some of you might find amusin?
How I should?a stayed in my local bar boozin?
Cause I can?t win for losin?
I can?t win for losin?
I can?t win?.
(It all started when I said)

Verse 1
There ain?t nothin? for me here if I stay
So, I?m leavin? today
Heading out for LA
Yeah I?m driving down to Hollywood
Never felt so good
Just like I knew it would
Spend my first night in this Hollywood bar
Laughing and boozing
(meanwhile)
Someone stole my luggage and my car
Man I - I can?t win for losin?

Verse 2
(Ah well)
Been working fast food for a day or two
When the next thing I knew
Spielberg?s next in the queue
The dude in front of him won?t make up his mind
Missed opportunity time
As Spielberg moves down the line
(and oh yeah)
Tracy winks at him and gives him this smile
And she?s laughing and schmoozing
(& He says)
?come and have an audition sometime?
Man I ? I can?t win for losin?

Bridge 1
It?s alright
I?m OK
I?m Just a struggling actor
Try?n a make it out here in LA
Extra fries with that
Milkshake
You know I?m gonna be somebody some day

Verse 3
Well now it?s finally audition time
And I?m standing in the line
Stardom on my mind
I?m trying for the part of General Lee
Some dude from history
Talks peculiarly

(so I) mess up my lines and I miss my cues
This acting?s so confusing
They?re makin? me pay my actors union dues
(damn!) I can?t win for losin?

Bridge 2
It?s alright
I?m OK
Who cares
It?s only money anyway
Got the best place
Under the freeway
Tonight I?m sleeping with the stars in LA

Verse 4
So now I?m heading back to my home town
Got my feet on the ground
Forget Tinsel town
I?m headed straight to my old neighborhood bar
Where you can come as you are
Don?t need to be a star
(well look at that)
Looks like they?re shooting some reality show
I can?t believe who they?re choosin?
My twin brother won a part on the show
I can?t Ffff, Shhhh?. Mmmmmm. Arrrrgggghhh!

Bridge 3
It?s alright
I?m OK
Never wanted to be a
Stupid actor anyway
Got my guitar
(Which I can?t play)
I?m gonna be a country star someday ?

Oh yeah?

(Instrumental break)
Can?t believe who that producers guy?s choosin?
I just can?t win for losin?
