Well my momma met my daddy down in
AlabamaThey tied the knot so here
I amBorn on the bayou on the
Texas Line
Loved Louisanana and raised on
JabalayaNow 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
When I was eighteen
I went to
Hollywood
I met Elvis
Marilyn and
Johnny B
GoodeGot my guitar painted in the
California sun a red caddilac having to much fun
Now we were playing them halls and jammin' then until they moved me on over to
M G MThey 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 ya' right now
I am 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
I still got my hat and
I still wear my jeans
My shades are chromo my guitar is steal if you think
I won't then believe me
I willGet down on you baby because
I ain't no rookie
I was put here to party and
I was born to boogie
