CI don't know why I Fdrink so much G7can't even stand the Ctaste
But Fliquid courage helps me through my Cday
If I take time to Fstop and think the G7booze just goes to Cwaste
I'm Fstill the same G7cause I was born that Cway
My love walked out and Fmomma cried I've G7heard she even Ccursed
And Fsaid I'm turnin' all my family Cgray
Of all the kids she Fraised no doubt G7Stonewall turned out the Cworst
FGuess I must have G7just been born that Cway
I guess G7there's a streak of sorry Cburied in each man
FAnd it only shows up now and G7then
Mine Cwasn't buried Fdeep enough G7it's got the upper Chand
Cause that D7line between the good and bad's G7so thin
The Cpreacher said my Fonly chance G7was to be borned Cagain
So FI got baptized and tried so hard to Cpray
But the devil in me Flaughed and danced G7when I went back to Csin
FGuess I must have G7just been born that Cway
FI'm just no good G7cause I was born that Cway
FWhat can I do G7when I was born that a Cway
