I don't know why I drink so much can't even stand the taste
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 momma cried I've heard she even cursed
And said I'm turnin' all my family gray
Of all the kids she raised no doubt Stonewall turned out the worst
Guess I must have just been born that way
I guess there's a streak of sorry buried in each man
And it only shows up now and then
Mine wasn't buried 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 borned again
So I got baptized and tried so hard to pray
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 a way
