Teach all the prime and propers
What not to do
Nobody round here wants to ramble
What the hell that was I's born to do

Those swanky big brick houses don't amuse me
I live in a trailer,
But I drive a cadillac
I ain't never tried to impress nobody
Cause my honk if you horn sticker on the back?

Somebody had to set a bad example
Teach all the prime and propers
What not to do
Nobody round here wants to ramble
What the hell that was I's born to do

All the girls that I grew up with went to college
Their rich daddies bought them a degree
But, I'm a third generation bartender
Yeah and I like livin' from a tip jar,
From week to week

Somebody had to set a bad example
Teach all the prime and propers
What not to do
Nobody round here wants to ramble
What the hell that was I's born to do
(x2)

I said, what the hell that was I's born to do
