Darlin' I was born with a tail that's my only pick up line
I can show you my first scars where they cut it off my spine
Doctor's called it a miracle but my mother wasn't so enthused
She never said a word to nobody and she kept it out of the news
I've been searching all my life for the reason why
I walk a crooked path and I blaze an ugly trail
Nobody will tell me why in the hell
I was born with a tail
My mother is only a few years older than her only son
When I asked about my father she said don't worry about him none
I didn't worry 'til I got to be her age when I was born
That's when my face broke out with acne and my scalp broke out with horns
I've been searching all my life for the reason why
I've got the skin of a snake and the cold heart of a snail
Nobody will tell me why in the hell
I was born with a tail
She didn't buy my first shoes at Walmart clearance sales
No, she bought them down at the stable and they put them on with nails
All the kids at the grade school stared at me like I was more than a little weird
'cause I showed up every morning with a freshly shaven beard
I've been searching all my life for the reason why
My blood's as black as the back wash in the holy grail
Nobody will tell me why in the hell
I was born with a tail
So I've been playing my guitar thinking of the dad that I've never known
Some old black man told me I might find him down at the crossroads
So I spend my lonely days sitting in this lonely bar
Thinking of my long lost father and showing off these scars
I've been searching all my life for the reason why
So far in my search I have failed
Nobody will tell me why in the hell
I was born with a tail
