They told me that my life was headed for the devil
And I asked them
"What's a life if you're living like you're dead?”
They started praying, they were saying
"Well we hope you'll be forgiven”
And even though I listened
I never heard a word they said
Guess I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance on 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 and he washed it in a whiskey river
I took his hand, we stood back
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 on 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 singing my song
Well I’ll shiver
'Cause I know they won't be coming here
For anybody else
But I won't pray, I've made my grave
And I'll sleep in it
If there's a heaven, Lord, 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 on two left feet
And raised up to be the rebel
I was blind but now I see
I guess it's always been the devil and me
