I Can't Catch A Break Lyrics - Singles - Coldtrainblues

1. two thousand one, was my release. 

fresh out of the pen, 

now i'm back on the street, 

got a new mindset, 

and a brand new plan, 

gettin' back on my feet, 

keep away from the man; 

2. on parole no time for play, 

givin' up the fast life, 

gonna start a new day, 

they gave me a number, 

took away my name, 

gotta do things right, 

and gotta play the game; 

bridge 

then a change came charging in, (charging in) 

cause it's a cruel cruel world, (cruel world) 

some times it's even hard, to trust your own little girl, 

(i can't catch a break no) 

but you gotta stay strong my brother, 

'til' the very end (very end) 

cause your truth, and your honor, 

you got to defend, i can't get a break, 

(i can't catch a break, can't get a break) x 2; 

3. two thousand and four, 

i got set up at my front door, 

ooh ain't it a shame, 

the way the man plays the game, 

i got a brand new number, 

with a brand new deal, 

hard to believe, 

but the story is so real; 

4. now i'm in a program, 

gotta see the man once a month, 

dressed up in a monkey suit, 

lookin' like a dummy, in a store front, 

5. two thousand and five, 

to two double o six, 

had to pick up my life, 

and get back in the mix; 

go to bridge solo 

then a change came charging in, (charging in) 

cause it's a cruel cruel world, (cruel world) 

some times it's even hard, to trust your own little girl, 

(i can't catch a break no) 

but you gotta stay strong my brother, 

'til' the very end (very end) 

cause in order to survive, 

you can't never give in, 

(i can't catch a break, can't get a break) 

(i can't catch a break, can't get a break) 

bridge
