I believe its to give the impression your head is an object, and is placed over your shoulders, so when you were born you got a good head placed on your shoulders, and now you are intelligent because of that.
This is just my intrepretation and i could be wrong, but this is an expression so its not supposed to make much sense.

It’s a very common expression and not meant to be taken literally. It means you have good judgement, know how to assess situations accurately and generally are an intelligent person.
