Chorus: A Born to be a roughneck E I'll never amount to nothing B7 E Pulling case and laying pipe is hard labor E Well I was born in a boomer shack About a half a mile from town Papa was driller on a wildcat crew F# B7 And mama never was around E I learned to cuss when I was two And fight when I was three And by the time I was five there was no kid alive B7 E Could ever get the best of me Chorus Well, I started working like a regular man When I was just about knee high Skinning the knuckles with my two bare hands But they never heard me cry I remember walking down the road And hearing somebody say He was born to live a rougneck's life And he's never going to change his ways Chorus - x2
