Bacon Brothers - Not Born To Beauty Lyrics
Written by kevin bacon, michael baconHe was headlining the lazy loungeAnd the crowd was growing thinIt was me and two drunk salesmanAnd a waitress named corineHe wasnt much to look atDrum machine and a bad toupeeBut he brought out a beat-up stratAnd blew us all awayHe was born to do itHe was born to playLike there was nothing to itLike he did it every dayNot some well-pierced pretty boyThat you find on every blockNot born to beautyNot born to beautyBorn to rockOpen mike in a village barAll the bands would play for freeWhen the drummer took his soloI realized he was a sheNow she was bigger than a houseboatShe was lucky it was darkBut you shouldve seen her hands floatAnd she could bite you like a sharkShe was born to do itShe was born to playLike there was nothing to itYeah she did it every dayNot some skinny pin-upShe had time like a swiss-made clockNot born to beautyNot born to beauty, yeahTheir clothes are out of styleAnd the road shows on their facesThe hair that once lived on their headsHas moved to other placesMaybe they got day jobsTo support this rockin jonesBut the rhythm fits them like a skinAnd the blues is in their bonesTurn on your mtvAnd you wont find them thereYou can read that rolling stone cover to coverYou wont find them anywhereBut in basements and garagesHotel lounges, roadside barsClose your eyes and hear the tunesAnd youll be seeing starsThey were born to do itThey were born to playYeah there was nothing to itYeah they did it every dayNot too good to look atLess like kirk and more like spockNot born to beautyNot born to beautyBorn to rock
