She was tough and she was fine, like a hard tail '49
And she took me for a ride, I lost my head
Well, I did not see the sign, 'cause her love had drove me blind
But it's too late, the lights are turnin' red

Well, she left me next to nothin', another broken fool
Standin' in the cold wind, howlin' at the moon
Some are born to win the game, some were born to lose
And they spend their nights inside the house of blues

I was cold and I was hungry, all too short of money
Not to well, what the Hell, I'm still living
And this house is not a home, I know I'm not alone
Well I know just where to go when love has gone

She left me here with nothin', waiting here for something
Something I could believe in
Some were born to win the game, some were born to lose
And they live their lives every night in the house of blues

Well, she left me here with nothin', another broken fool
Standin' in the cold wind, howlin' at the moon
Some were born to win the game, some were born to lose
And they spend their nights inside the house of blues

Well, some were born to win the game, some were born to lose
And they spend their nights, every night inside the house of blues
Every night, every day and every night
Well, they spend their lives inside the house of blues
Blues
