I was raised in the hills of Kentucky
I grew up in L.A.
From different sides of the country
Every time we heard music play We were learning our language
We were born to speak
We may not sing it the same way
But I hear what you're saying to me [Chorus:]
Hey, hey
We're soul sisters
And roots run deep
We're soul sisters
Laying it down
And we're praying the soul to keep Lord it took my breath away
When I heard a bottle neck slide
I felt blues in that bluegra**
That could not be denied
Here's to the peers and the pioneers
Who paved the way
And pa**ed it down to you and me
This musical DNA [Chorus:] Music is a language
That we were born to speak
I sing the blues
And I moan the blues
But I hear what you're saying to me [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
