C F G7 C
I don't know why I drink so much can't even stand the taste
F C
But liquid courage helps me through my day
F G7 C
If I take time to stop and think the booze just goes to waste
F G7 C
I'm still the same cause I was born that way
F G7 C
My love walked out and momma cried I've heard she even cursed
F C
And said I'm turnin' all my family gray
F G7 C
Of all the kids she raised no doubt Stonewall turned out the worst
F G7 C
Guess I must have just been born that way
G7 C
I guess there's a streak of sorry buried in each man
F G7
And it only shows up now and then
C F G7 C
Mine wasn't buried deep enough it's got the upper hand
D7 G7
Cause that line between the good and bad's so thin
C F G7 C
The preacher said my only chance was to be borned again
F C
So I got baptized and tried so hard to pray
F G7 C
But the devil in me laughed and danced when I went back to sin
F G7 C
Guess I must have just been born that way
F G7 C
I'm just no good cause I was born that way
F G7 C
What can I do when I was born that a way
I don't know why I drink so much can't even stand the taste
F C
But liquid courage helps me through my day
F G7 C
If I take time to stop and think the booze just goes to waste
F G7 C
I'm still the same cause I was born that way
