(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 anywayI don't know why
Just born that way
No I don't know why
Just born that wayNo 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 goI don't know why
Just born that way
No I don't know why
Just born that wayYou 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 thinksI don't know why
Just born that way
No I don't know why
Just born that way
