About Me

Bad luck wind been blowing at my back - I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at - Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck - When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red - I was born in the soul of misery - Never had me a name - They just gave me the number when I was young - Got a long line of heartache - I carry it well - The list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell - Back luck been blowing at my back - I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back - I was born in the soul of misery - Never had me a name - They just gave me the number when I was young. . .
