Some are born to plough the fields of home

Some are born to happiness and never start to roam

I bent the bow, I let the arrow fly

Your children go—do you ever wonder why?

Cross my heart, there's nothing I'd regret

Just that single perfect path, I haven't found it yet

Let's work it out, it's not too late to try

I said, "Get real, I didn't say goodbye"

'Cause I was born to tell the truth and run

Remember me, remember me

It was all for love, the crazy things I've done

Remember me, I'm still your native son

Remember me, I'm still your native son

Oh, native son

Oh, native son

Some are born to watch the years go by

Some are born to happiness, it comes as no surprise

I bent the bow, I let the arrow fly

I said, "Get real, I never said goodbye"

'Cause I was born to tell the truth and run

Remember me, remember me

It was all for love, the crazy things I've done

Remember me, I'm still your native son

Remember me, I'm still your native son

Oh, native son

Oh, native son

Oh, native son

Oh, native son

Remember me, I'm still your native son
