Lyrics

Born To Dance Bruce and Keith Taylor - January 2013

Open auditions and try outs and call backs
Waitressing jobs where the tips don't go far
Buying some time for a dream, it's not easy
A low rent apartment, a broken down car
But all she needs is a chance
She was born to dance

Hours in the gym, many more on the dance floor
When timing means all, not a moment to spare
Take what you find in the chances life gives you
Follow the road to your dreams if you dare
And all she needs is a chance....

Chorus
She was born to dance
She is one with the music
Born to dance
It is part of her soul
Born to dance
Where she finds herself centered
In a world spinning out of control
She was born to dance

Just like the first time she found herself dancing
Her spirit takes flight like the music it soars
She knows it's a love which will last for a lifetime
She knows she's alive when she's out on the floor
And all she needs is a chance....

Chorus
She was born to dance
She is one with the music
Born to dance
It is part of her soul
Born to dance
Where she finds herself centered
In a world spinning out of control
She was born to dance
She was born to dance
She will follow her passion
Born to dance
Like the notes on a page
Born to dance
She finally finds freedom
When she finds herself out on the stage
She was born to dance
Born to dance

Really like the overlapping vocals!

we are all looking for that break in life. a chance is what we all need. a great song to motivate us to follow our dreams.

I absolutely love this song! My guess is that you wrote it for a real person that you know. If you didn't, well, you sure convinced me, anyway. The lyric writing is top notch and the melody and guitar playing are just perfect for this tune. My favorite rhymes are soars/floor. Page/stage. I just love the lyrics; the story is completely real and believable...the perfect ingredients for a five star country song. The word pictures in verse one set the song up nicely and the chorus and hook, instrumentation and production are phenomenal. Great job, songwriter!

Well performed and written lyrics with string hook in an established style and genre.

A very appealing song with a straightforward approach. The acoustic guitars were well played and just sounded right for the track. Very good clean vocal performance also. The story song was well told and the track well recorded.

Nice vocal, great voice. I like the simple presentation, couple guitars and the vocalist...vocals up front. Good hook.

I think I knew the same type of girl, 30 years ago, good story song, it took me back. quality lyrics real nice melody nice duet thingy happenin'. you got a nice song here. thanks, I enjoyed listening to it

Great 3 minute song.. Well performed and recorded.. love the quality of the voice.

I love the story telling country. this could also be folk music as well. The lyrics were well written . The singer had a great voice. I liked it a lot.

you paint a nice picture of what many of us have been through in life. i was riding right along with you.
good job on the produciton.

I like the sound of the rhythm guitar and the lead guitar parts - I also like the lead vocals, sounds a bit like John Denver.

Nice story with the lyrics. Pursuing a dream........ Good chorus and hook. Well presented

I really enjoyed this song. Lyrically very nice. A bit cliche (as most songs are) but not ruined by it. Like the hook. I gave it a 3 out of 5, but I'm a tough reviewer and was really close to a 4 (which I have yet to give.)

good lead vocal, great production, and nice melody
