Lyrics
0:12Some kids grow up with lots of toys
0:18Some grow up knowing other boys
0:23And I was born in the land of the free
0:29But these things never happened to me
0:32'Cos I was born a man
0:36Don't remember being a child
0:38I was born a man
0:41Don't remember running wild
0:44As soon as I was old enough to get my pay
0:49I was working sixteen hours out of every day
1:06Some kids grow up with a mothers love
1:12And some with even more
1:17But me I just turned up one day
1:23On someone else's door
1:26'Cos I was born a man
1:30Don't remember being a child
1:32I was born a man
1:35Don't remember running wild
1:38As soon as I was old enough to get my pay
1:43I was working sixteen hours out of every day
1:49But I won't cry
1:52No I won't bore you
1:54It has been good but it could have been better
2:00Life's like a woman
2:02Go out and take her
2:05She'll treat you good if you are good back to her
2:09I was born a man
2:13Don't remember being a child
2:15I was born a man
2:18Don't remember running wild
2:20As soon as I was old enough to get my pay
2:25I was working sixteen hours out of every day
Some kids grow up with lots of toys Some grow up knowing other boys And I was born in the land of the free But these things never happened to me 'Cos I was born a man Don't remember being a child I was born a man Don't remember running wild As soon as I was old enough to get my pay I was working sixteen hours out of every day Some kids grow up with a mothers love And some with even more But me I just turned up one day On someone else's door 'Cos I was born a man Don't remember being a child I was born a man Don't remember running wild As soon as I was old enough to get my pay I was working sixteen hours out of every day But I won't cry No I won't bore you It has been good but it could have been better Life's like a woman Go out and take her She'll treat you good if you are good back to her I was born a man Don't remember being a child I was born a man Don't remember running wild As soon as I was old enough to get my pay I was working sixteen hours out of every day
