(david lee murphy/jimbeau hinson)



Came out swingin' and a kickin' with my heels dug in

Puttin' up a fight like they ain't seen since

The doctor held me up looked me in the face

Said he didn't have to slap me but he did it anyway



I don't know why

Just born that way

No i don't know why

Just born that way



No i never had nothin' and i know i never will

All my daddy left me was a funeral bill

If something's too easy something's wrong i know

'cause i was born the gift of a hard way to go



I don't know why

Just born that way

No i don't know why

Just born that way



You know all in all it ain't such a bad lot

You learn to live with what little you got

Never had a job that didn't stink

Never really cared what anybody thinks



I don't know why

Just born that way

No i don't know why

Just born that way
