They told me that my life is headed for the devil, So 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 them "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. Raised up to be the rebel, I was blind but now I see I guess it's always been, the devil and me.
