[E]
Well, my mama met my daddy down in Alabama.
They tied the knot, so here I [G] am.
[A] Born on the bayou on the Texas [E] line.
Loved in Louisiana, raised on [D] Jamaliah.
[A] [E]
Now before I could walk, I had a guitar in my hand.
By the time I could talk, I had my own [A] band.
I went on the road when I was eight years [E] old.
When I turned 15, I was stealing the [B] show.
Money to burn, and the girls were pretty.
[G] It didn't take me long to learn that I [E] was born to book.
When I was 18, I went [Em] to Hollywood.
I met [E] Elvis from Maryland, Johnny B.
Goode.
Got me a guitar, a [A] pain to dance in California [E] sun.
A red Cadillac, having too much [D] fun.
[A] [E]
Now we were [Dbm] playing them Pauls and [Em] jamming them.
They were [Abm] moving on over to MGM.
[E] They said, this is the boy we've been telling you about.
He lit a cigarette and stuck [D] his hand out.
[A] [Gb]
He said, son, have we got a deal for you?
I'm going to make you a star, give you 50,000 [B] views.
I told my mama, [D] didn't raise [B] no [Gb] fool.
I'll take your money, [B] I'll make you a [Db] movie.
I can tell you right now, [Dbm] I was born to boogie.

Well, my name is Bo Severs.
I drank a whiskey by the gallon.
I never backed down, and I love a good challenge.
[A] What I do now is what I did then.
[G] I like to [E] get down with all my rowdy friends.
[D] [A]
[E] Now I can be sweet, and I can be mean.
I still got my hat, and [G] I still wear [E] my jeans.
[Am] My shades [A] are chrome, my guitar steel.
[E] If you think I won't, then believe me, I will.
[B] Get down on you, baby, because I ain't no wreck it.
[E] I was born to party, and I was born to boogie.
