Born To Be Bad

On the night I arrived

My daddy said, "Sake's alive"

It's the meanest one that we've had yet

Teethed on tin and weaned on gin

I was nobody's teacher's pet

I grew up rough and mean

In my early teens

And I didn't want to go to school

I called no man sir

Work was a dirty word

My biggest kick was breakin' the rules

Now, when you see me comin', get away

The ones that didn't ain't around today

The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had

I'm here to tell you, boys, I was born to be bad

Born, born to be bad

I was born

Born to be bad

Now, when I reached 21, I knew the time had come

I had that old ramblin' itch

Breaking little girls hearts, I tore the world apart

A guitar playin' son of a

Born to be bad

That is the story of my life

Yeah, doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right

Now when I'm gray and old

And my story is told

I know what the people will say

They'll be glad to see me go

But the little girls'll know

I was bad till my dyin' day

So when you see me comin', get away

The ones that didn't ain't around today

The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had

I'm here to tell you, boys, I was born to be bad

Born, born to be bad

I was born

Born to be bad

Born to be bad

That is the story of my life

Yeah, doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right

Now when I'm old and gray

And I've had my day

I know what the people will do

They'll be glad to see me go

But the little girls'll know

I was bad till the day I was through

So when you see me comin', get away

The ones that didn't ain't around today

The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had

I'm here to tell you, boys, I was born to be bad

Born, born to be bad

I was born

Born to be bad

I was born

Born to be bad
