You can't talk like that, less it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You can't sing like that, less it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You can't play that way, less the soul is borned into your bones
Borned into your blood, into your bones

You gotta listen to Hank Williams til it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You gotta listen to Leadbelly til it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You gotta listen to Hazel Dickens til the soul is borned into your bones
Borned into your blood, into your bones

Mama she sang to us. She borned it in us
And Daddy played them old records and I remember sometimes he'd cry
To hear those soulful sounds, oh now I know what Daddy found
Borned into your blood into your bones

You gotta live every day til it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You gotta learn every day, til it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You gotta love every day, til the soul is borned into your bones
Borned into your blood into your bones

You can't talk like that, less it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
And you can't sing like that, less it's borned in ya (borned in ya)
You can't play that way, less the soul is borned into your bones
Borned into your blood into your bones
Borned into your blood into your bones
Borned into your blood into your bones
Oh yes"
