Born To Be Bad

                               
On the night I arrived my daddy said "Sakes Alive,
                                   
He's the meanest one that we've had yet!"
                  
Teethed on tin and weened 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" and work was a dirty word
                                
My biggest kick was breakin' the rules
                           
Now when you see me comin', get away
                           
The one's that didn't ain't around today
                                
The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had
                              
I'm here to tell ya boys I was born to be bad
                
Born, born to be bad
             -    N/
I was born.          born to be bad
                                                           
  
Now when I reached 21 I Knew the time had come that ole ramblin' itch
                                       
Breakin' little girls hearts I tore the world apart
  
A guitar-playin' son of a...

Born to be bad
                       
That's the story of my life
                                                  
Yeah, doin' things wrong is my way of doin' things right

                                
Now when I'm gray and old and my story's told
                           
I know what the people will say
           
They'll be glad to see me go
        
But the little girls will know
                      
I was bad til my dyin' day
                          
So when you see me comin', get away
                           
The one's that didn't ain't around today
                                
The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had
                              
I'm here to tell ya boys I was born to be bad
