Susan Cagle - Born Bob Dylan lyrics

[Verse 1] If I don't say anything, it's wrong If I said it, it wouldn't come out right It's been keeping me up all night Half my life I've been told to shut up So how am I gonna open up? Wish you could just read my mind If I shared all of me Would you run away? If I sugarcode what I had to say in poetry Would it make you stay? [Pre-Hook] I wish I was born Bob Dylan Had all the words to speak my feelings I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks And follow my heart and free the truth Even if I stood alone I didn't know how it was gonna go Even if the water was cold I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest [Hook] I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan [Verse 2] They say either way you win If you're feeling it right gotta hold it in What is meant to be will be But all the wisdom doesn't help me now I'm scared and I gotta find out how to speak my mind If metaphors are rosen I'm still making mine I hope you know what I mean when I'm mad at me Cause I don't see what I'm in when I'm caught in between I'm afraid the real you is alluring me [Pre-Hook + Hook] [Verse 3] With you I'm ripped wide open at the seams I'm not that tough But you could hear the song inside of me But it's not enough All the things I wanna say to you Read it on my face [Pre-Hook] [Bridge] I wish I was born Bob Dylan Even if I stood alone Didn't know how it was gonna go Gotta get it off my chest And hope for the best [Outro] I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan I wish I was born Bob Dylan
