I don`t know why I drink so much can`t even stand the test
But liquid courage helps me through my day
If I take time to stop and think the booze just goes to waste
I`m still the same cause I was born that way
My love walked out and mama cried I`ve heard she even cursed
And said I`m turning off my family grey
Of all the kids she raised no doubt Stonewall turned out the worse
Guess I must have just been born that way
I guess there`s a streak of sorry burried in each man
And it always shows up now and then
Mine wasn`t burried deep enough it`s got the upper hand
Cause that line between the good and bad`s so thin
The preacher said my only chance was to be born again
So I got bowties and tried so hard to break
But the devil in me laughed and danced when I went back to sin
Guess I must have just been born that way
I`m just no good cause I was born that way what can I do when I was born that way
