Born This Way (The Country Road Version)

Lady Gaga · Songs For The Philippines [2013]

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M

Just put your paws up

'Cause you were born this way, baby



My mama told me when I was young

We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on

In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothing wrong with loving who you are

She said, 'cause he made you perfect babe

So hold your head up and you'll go far

Listen to me when I say



I'm beautiful in my way

'Cause God makes no mistakes

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way



Don't hide yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you're set

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way



Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Right track baby

I was born this way



Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Don't be



Give yourself prudence and love your friends

Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure

I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin

Believe capital H-I-M

I love my life, I love this record, and

Mi amore vole fe yah



I'm beautiful in my way

'Cause God makes no mistakes

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way



Don't hide yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you're set

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way



Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Right track baby

I was born this way



If I wanna make it country, baby, it's okay

'Cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way

From London, Paris, Japan, back to USA

Yeah, I was born on the road, I was born to be brave



No matter gay, straight, or bi

Lesbian, transgendered life

I'm on the right track baby

I was born to survive

No matter black, white, or beige

Chola or orient made

I'm on the right track baby

I was born to be brave



I'm beautiful in my way

'Cause God makes no mistakes

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way



Don't hide yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you're set

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way, yeah



Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Right track baby

I was born this way



I was born this way, hey

I was born this way, hey

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way, hey



I was born this way, hey

I was born this way, hey

I'm on the right track, baby

I was born this way, hey

Born This Way (The Country Road Version)

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way (The Country Road Version)' appears on her 2013 album 'Songs For The Philippines,' marking a significant departure from her usual pop and electronic soundscapes. This recording reimagines the original anthem with a distinct country and Americana influence, featuring acoustic instrumentation and a stripped-back arrangement that emphasizes vocal clarity and emotional resonance. The track was created to support the 'Born This Way' Foundation's work in the Philippines, blending Gaga's signature advocacy with a rustic musical style that contrasts sharply with the synth-heavy production of her earlier work. By incorporating elements of folk and country music, the song highlights her versatility as an artist and demonstrates her commitment to using music as a vehicle for social change and cultural connection.
