Born To Boogie

Lyrics
Well, my momma met my daddy down in Alabama They tied the knot so here I am Born on the bayou on the Texas Line Loved in Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya ♪ Now before I could walk, I had a guitar in my hand By the time I could talk, I had my own band I went on the road when I was eight years old When I turned fifteen, I was stealing the show Money to burn and the girls were pretty It didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie ♪ When I was eighteen, I went to Hollywood I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode Got my guitar painted to dance the California Sun A red Cadillac having to much fun ♪ Now we were playing them halls and jammin' Then back we moved it on over to M.G.M. They said, "This is the boy we've been telling you about" He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out ♪ He said, "Son have, we got a deal for you" "I'm gonna make you a star, give you fifty thousand, too" I told him my momma didn't raise no fool I'll take your money, I'll make you a movie But I can tell ya right now, I was born to boogie ♪ Well, my name is Bocephus, I drink a whiskey by the gallon And I never back down and I love a good challenge What I do now is what I did then I like to get down with all my rowdy friends ♪ Now I can be sweet and I can be mean I still got my hat and I still wear my jeans My shades are chrome, my guitar's steal If you think I won't then believe me I will Get down on you baby 'cause I ain't no rookie I was put here to party and I was born to boogie
