They told me that my life was headed for the devil And I asked them: What's a life if you're livin' like you're dead? They started prayin', they were sayin': Well we hope you'll be forgiven And even though I listened, I never heard a word they said 'Cause I was born to be a sinner I was born to be free I was born to dance with two left feet So I kept on walking, I started talking with the devil And I asked him: What's a life if you live it like you're dead? He took my soul, then he washed it in a whiskey river I took his hand, we stood there and watched the banks turn red 'Cause I was born to be a sinner I was born to be free I was born to dance with two left feet And raised up to be the rebel I was made with a little bit of fire, you see I guess it's always been the devil and me If I hear those angels singin' my song, well I’ll shiver 'Cause I know they won't be comin' here for anybody else But I won't pray: I've made my grave and I'll sleep in it If theres a heaven, I'm headed straight for hell 'Cause I was born to be a sinner I was born to be free I was born to dance with two left feet And raised up to be the rebel I was made with a little bit of fire, you see I guess it's always been the devil and me
