  • Lyrics: It Always Happens to Me, Rufus Shoffner, Joyce Songer

    Found on the 1988 album, Boppin’ Hillbilly, Vol. 5

    I took my girl out for a walk along the countryside
    When pap(?) found out what I done, he really tanned my hide
    When I went to see my girl last night a strange voice to me said
    Look what you done to my daughter. I should blow off your head.

    Well it always happens to me it does
    It always happens to me
    I guess I was born to have that look
    ‘Cause it always happens to me

    When I decided to marry that girl, how happy I could be
    Now I have somebody’s kid tagging after me
    Now I tried and rid that woman, I wished a thousand times
    They took a shotgun and blowed off this head of mine

    Well it always happens to me it does
    It always happens to me
    I guess I was born to have that look
    ‘Cause it always happens to me

    My wife she packed her clothes brought home her ma and pa
    I killed a million dollars she had a padlock on her jaw
    Well I had to fight with my mother-in-law she’s tough as she can be
    She all ran off with her store-bought teeth and took a bite of me

    Well it always happens to me it does
    It always happens to me
    I guess I was born to have that look
    ‘Cause it always happens to me

    Now it’s the final day of judgment when satan rings a bell
    Instead of going to heaven I guess I’m going to–

    Well it always happens to me it does
    It always happens to me
    I guess I was born to have that look
    ‘Cause it always happens to me
