Born To Boogie
Written and recorded by Hank Williams Jr.

C
Well my momma met my daddy down in Alabam 
 
They tied the knot so here I am 
F
Born in the bayou on the Texas line 
C
Loved in Lousiana 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 
F
Went on the road when I was 8 years old 
C
When I turned 15 I was stealing the show 
G7
Money to burn and the girls were pretty 
       C
Didn't take me long to learn it I was born to boogie 
 

When I was 18 I went to Hollywood 
 
I met Elvis and Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode 
F
I got my guitar painted with the California sun 
C
Had a red Cadillac having too much fun 


Well we were playing them halls in Virginia and then 
 
We moved it on over to MGM 
F
He said this is the boy we've been telling you about 
C
He lit a cigar and he stuck his hand out 
 

He said son have we got a deal for you 
 
Were gonna make you a star and give you 50,000 tunes 
F
I told you my momma didn't raise no fool 
C                    F
I'll take your money I'll make you movies 
G7
I can tell you right now I was born to boogie 


C
Well my name is Bocephus I drink whiskey by the gallon 
 
And I never back down and I love a good challenge 
F
What I do now is what I did then 
C
I like to get down with all my rowdy friends 
 

Well I can be sweet and I can be mean 
 
I still got my hat and I still wear my jeans 
F
My shades are chrome my guitar is steel 
C
If you think I won't then believe me I will 
G7
Get down with me baby cause I ain't no rookie 
      C
I was born to party and I was born to boogie
