I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way (born this way)

 

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said

Take the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

She goes downtown
The boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown
She walks like she just don't care, yeah

Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty, yeah
Hot child in the city

You played hookie from school and you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said, for the rest of the week, in your room you gotta stay, yeah
Oh ho, now you feel like the whole world's pickin' on you
But deep down inside, you know it ain't true
You're in punishment
'Cause your mother wants to raise you in the right way, yeah
But you don't care
'Cause you already made up your mind you wanna run away yeah
You're on your way, runaway child, running wild
Runaway child running wild
Better go back home where you belong

Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While you've been saving your neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you

Sitting in a transit all night long
Playing clubs and rocking right on
The road's much too long since I've been wasting my time
Wish I was home again sipping my wine

And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone
I don't care, it's where I'm from
I'm on the road again

I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Let me hear two dying crows
In the middle of tobacco road

 

Grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was hanging on my back
Only lord knows how I loved tobacco road

 

But it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known
But the lord knows how I loved
Tobacco road

 

Gonna leave, get a job
With the help of the treesome god
Save my money, get rich enough
Bring it back to tobacco road

 

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name tobacco road

 

'Cause it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known
I despise you cause you're filthy
But I love you cause you're home

 

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to know
This place called tobacco road

 

'Cause it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known
But the lord knows how I love
Tobacco road

Turning back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same?
Now the thing that I call living
Is just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame

 

Carefree highway
I've got to see you my old flame
Carefree highway
You've seen better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you

God said to Abraham, "kill me a son"
Abe say, "man, you must be putting me on"
God say, "no", and Abe say, "what?"
God say, "you can do what you want Abe, but"
"Next time you see me comin', man, you better run"

Abe said, "where do you want this killing done?"
God said, "out on Highway 61"

Soon it will be time to go
I don't want to leave, I guess you know
Maybe something new will come up
And I can come home for just a few more days

Get off this two lane highway
Is going my way, moving fast
Two lane highway
Is taking me home, home at last

And it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh, 'cause it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
Oh, in at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide

I am made from the dust of the stars
and the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
like a stranger coming out of the rain

 

the evening plane rises up from the runway
over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
and wonder what you’re doing tonight

All of the lonely nights 
Waiting for you to come, longing to hold you tight 
I need you so desperately 
Waiting for you to come bring all your love to me

 

But I'd wait a million years 
Walk a million miles, cry a million tears 
I'd swim the deepest sea 
Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart, she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I'll never go to Texas anymore

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

 

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

A white sport coat and a pink carnation (doo-wa)
I'm all dressed up for the dance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
A white sport coat and a pink carnation (doo-wa)
I'm all alone in romance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)

Once you told me long ago (doo-doo)
To the prom with me you'd go (doo-doo)
Now you've changed your mind it seems (doo-wa)
Someone else will hold my dreams

A white (a white) sport coat (sport coat) and a pink carnation (doo-wa)
And in a blue, blue mood (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
(A white sport coat and a pink carnation) (doo-wa)
I'm all dressed up for the dance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
(A white sport coat and a pink carnation) (doo-wa)
I'm all alone in romance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
