Judy Collins - Born To The Breed CAPO: 1st Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] I was only nineteen The morning you were born With your hair fine and red And your eyes like my own [Verse 2] Barely a woman With only a song I sang to make you smile And held you all night long [Verse 3] Home through the streets With you in my arms Cold winter mornings In a Colorado town [Verse 4] I’ve seen you stumble You’ve watched me fall You know I’ve got nothing You know we’ve got it all [Verse 5] Trucks roll by and the rain coming down Does that old parka keep you dry? Sixteen years old out on the road Trying to get to the sky [Verse 6] Back in September You called me on the phone "Ma you know I love you But I gotta be own my own" [Verse 7] "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" [Verse 8] Now he’s playing guitar In a rock and roll band Looking like a baby Talking like a man [Verse 9] The life of a guitar man Is a hard life to live What can I tell you You were born to the breed [Verse 10] Rain comes down the trucks rolling by Is that old poncho gonna keep you dry? Sixteen years old January child Trying to get to the sky [Verse 11] I’ve watched you growing Through all these years You’ve seen me stumble I’ve watched your tears [Verse 12] Sometimes there was roses Sometimes there was thorns But I know you’re gonna make it As sure as you were born [Verse 13] 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 [Outro] Sixteen years old January child Trying to get to the sky______
