Well, my mama met my daddy down in Alabama.

[E] Love, you're Louisiana, the reds don't have a [D] line.

Well, before I could walk, I had a guitar in my hand.
Right in 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 fifteen, I was stealing the show.
[B] Money to burn and the girls were pretty.
[Em] It didn't take me long to learn [G#m] that I was born [E] good.

When I was eighteen, I went to Hollywood.
I met an Elvis from [G] Maryland, Johnny [C#m] B.

Now we were playing them halls at [G] Jem and [E] Zem.
And we moved it on over to MGM.
They said, this is the boy we've been telling you about.
He lit a [D] cigarette and stuck his hand out.
[A] [F#]
You said, son, haven't we [F#m] got a deal for you?
I'm going to [F#] make you a star, give you fifty thousand.
[B] Show that my mama didn't raise no [F#] fools.
I'll take your [B] money, I'll make you [C#m] movies.
I can tell you right now, I was born to [E] boogie.

[E] [G#m] [E] Well, my name is Bo Seegers.
I drank a whiskey and found a gallon.
I never backed down, and I love a good challenge.
[A] What I do now is what I did [E] then.
I like to get down with all my relatives.
[D] [A]
[E] I can be sweet and I can be mean.
Still got my hat, I can still wear my feet.
[Am] My shades grown, my [E] guitar steel.
You think I won't, then believe me I [B] will.
Get down, baby, I ain't no [E] wreckage.
I was [Em] born to party, and I was born to boogie.
