BORN TO SING

I left my home
In Illinois
I drove down to Nashville
To make my noise
They rolled out the carpet
I'm giving country music a fling
They said, "Girl! You're gonna make it!"
You were Born To Sing

I made my home
In the studio
16th Avenue
Music Row
I'm not in the office
I'm not into that kind of thing
I was never meant to type
I was Born To Sing

8-line bridge:
I got a 5-piece band, they're devoted to me
Hottest young pickers down in Tennessee
Songwriters pitching me their latest songs
Radio playing to the folks back home
Fan letters coming in from 50 states
I'll be in your town, so look for the dates
My agent called in the middle of the night
We're leaving for Vegas on the morning flight

Guitar (16 bar solo)

Some women work
In a restaurant
Others get off
Giving men what they want
Well, I'm no different
I've got a country king
But he understands
I was Born To Sing
He understands
I was Born To Sing
I was Born To Sing
I was Born To Sing

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
