Born to Boogie

Born to Boogie - Midday Sun

Well my momma met my daddy down in Alabam

They tied the knot so here I am

Born on the bayou on the Texas line

Lovin' Louisiana raised on Jambolaya

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 stealin' the show

Money to burn and the girls were pretty

Didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie

When I was eighteen I went to Hollywood

I met a Elvis and Marilyn and Johnny B Good

Got my guitar painted as the California sun

My Red Cadillac havin' too much fun

Now we were playin them halls and jammin' then

And we moved it on over to MGM

They said this is the boy we've been tellin' you about

He lit a cigar and he stuck his hand out

He said son have we got a deal for you

I'm gonna make you a star and give ya fifty thousand too

I told him my momma didn't raise no fool

I'll take your money I'll make your movies

I can tell you right now I was born to boogie

Well my name is Bocephus I drink whisky 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 steel

If you think I won't then believe me I will

Get down you baby 'cause I ain't no rookie

I was put hear to party and I was born to boogie
