Born to lose

From Theholdsteady

Could be one of five songs:

• A 1962 single by Ray Charles
• A 1962 single by Johnny Cash
• A 1977 single by Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers
• A 1999 single by Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society
• A 2002 single by Dee Dee Ramone

In this context it's likely to be the Johnny Cash one, which is a version of a tradition country song. The Ray Charles version is the same traditional song. The Johnny Thunders song is also a possibility because The Hold Steady's sound could easily appeal to fans of Johnny Thunders.
