A
Came out Swing and kicking with my heals dug in
Putting up a fight like I ain't seen since
The doctor held me up and looked me in the face
Said he didn't have to slap me, but he did it anyway
GD
c. I don't know why
A
Just born that way
GD
No I don't know why
A
Just born that way
A
No I never had nothing 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 with a gift of a hard way to go
repeat Chorus:
A
You know all in all it ain't such a bad lot
You learn to live with little you got
Never had I a job that didn't stink
Never gave a damn what anybody thinks
