Were You Born An Asshole Lyrics


David Allan Coe Were You Born An Asshole


Well I was driving down I-95 the other night,
when somebody nearly cut me right off the road.
I decided it wasn't going to do any good to get mad,
so I wrote a song about him instead. It goes like
this...

Were you bo-rn an asshole, or did you work at it your
whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ass-
hole tonight.

Yes you're an A-SSHOLE, and don't you try to blame it
on me,
you deserve all the credit, you're an asshole tonight.

You were an assho-le yesterday, you're an ass-hole
tonight,
and I've got a feeling, you'll be an asshole the rest
of your life.

And I was talking to your mother, just the other night,
I told her I thought you were an asshole, she said
"yes, I think you're right".

And a-ll your friends are assholes, 'cause you've known
them your whole life,
and somebo-dy told me, you've got an asshole for a
wife.

Were you bo-rn an asshole, or did you work at it your
whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ass-
hole tonight.
