Born to the Breed |
| I was only nineteen the morning you were born |
| With your hair fine and red and your eyes like my own |
| Barely a woman with only a song |
| I sang to keep you smilin' and held you all night long |
| Home through the streets with you in my arms |
| Cold winter mornings in a Colorado town |
| You’ve seen me stumble, I’ve watched you fall |
| I know that I’ve got nothing, you know we’ve got it all |
| Rain comes down and the trucks rollin' by |
| Does that old parka keep you dry? |
| Sixteen years old, out on the road |
| Tryin' to get to the sky |
| Back in September you called me on the phone |
| «Ma, you know I love you but I gotta be own my own |
| Comes a time in a boy’s life when he’s got to be a man |
| Please don’t try to find me, please try to understand» |
| I got me a job in a rock and roll band |
| I’m gonna try to see if I can get by |
| Sixteen years old, out on the road |
| Trying to get to the sky |
| I’ve watched you grow through all these years |
| You’ve seen me stumble and I’ve dried your tears |
| Sometimes there were roses, sometimes it was thorns |
| I know you’re gonna make it as sure as you were born |
| And I hope from what you wanted you get what you need |
| I know you’re gonna make it, you were born to the breed |
| Sixteen years old, out on the road |
| Trying to get to the sky |
