WELL MY MAMA MET MY
DADDY DOWN IN ALABAM
THEY TIED THE KNOT
SO HERE I AM
BORN ON THE BAYOU
ON THE TEXAS LINE
LOVED IN LOUISIANA
RAISED ON JAMBALAYA
WELL 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
THE 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 ELVIS AND MARILYN
AND JOHNNY B GOODE
GOT MY GUITAR PAINTED
AND SOME CALIFORNIA SUN
A RED CADILLAC
HAD TOO MUCH FUN
NOW WE WERE PLAYIN' THEM
HALLS AND JAMMIN' THEN
THEN WE MOVED
IT ON OVER TO MGM
SAID THIS IS THE BOY WE'VE
BEEN TELLIN' YOU ABOUT
HE LIT A CIGAR AND
STUCK HIS HAND OUT
HE SAID SON HAVE WE
GOT A DEAL FOR YOU
WE'RE GONNA MAKE
YOU A STAR
GIVE YOU
FIFTY-THOUSAND
TOO
I TOLD HIM MY MAMA
DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL
I'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY
I'LL MAKE YOUR MOVIE
I'LL 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
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 ON YOU BABY
CAUSE I AIN'T NO ROOKIE
I WAS PUT HERE TO PARTY
I WAS BORN TO BOOGIE
