Born to Boogie (Album Version)

Born To Boogie (Album Version) - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Let me tell you a little story

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 Louisanana and raised on Jabalaya

Now before I could walk

I had a guitar in my hand by the time

I could talk I had my own band

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

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 in the California

Sun a red caddilac having to much fun

Now we were playing them halls and jamming

Then until they moved me 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

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 you right now I was born to boogie

Well my name is Bocephus I drink whiskey by the gallon

And I never back down and I love a good chall

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

Still got my hat and wear my jeans

My shades are chromo my guitar is steal

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

Get down on you baby because I ain't no rookie

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

Born to boogie
