Somebody had to set a bad example
Teach all the prim and propers what not to do
Nobody around here wants to ramble

What the hell, that's what I was 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
With a ?Honk If You're ^^&$#*? sticker on the back


Somebody had to set a bad example
Teach all the prim and propers what not to do

Nobody around here wants to ramble
What the hell, that's what I was 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

And I like livin' from a tip jar week to week

Somebody had to set a bad example

Teach all the prim and propers what not to do
Nobody around here wants to ramble
What the hell, that's what I was born to do
