Well my momma met my daddy down in Alabama
They tied the knot so here I am.
I was born on the bayou on the Texas Line
Love you Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya.
Now before I could walk I had a guitar in my hand
By the time I could talk I had a damn good 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. Goode,
Got 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.M.
They said this is the boy we've been telling you about,
He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out.
He said son now we got a deal for you
We're gonna give you fifty thousand make you a movie star too.
I told him my Momma didn't raise no fool.
I don't want your money, and I don't want your movies
But I can tell ya' right now I am born to boogie.
Yeah Hank Jr.
Well my name is Bocephus I drink whiskey by the gallon
And he never backs down and I like a real challenge
What I do now is what he did then
he likes to get down with all my rowdy friends.
Well I can be sweet and I can be mean
I'm the one with the hat, the shades and the jeans
My shades are chrome my guitar is steal
If you think I won't then believe me I will
Get down with you people because I ain't no rookie
I was put here to party and I was born to boogie
Oh, yeah
Oh, I heard that Hank Williams Jr. Bocephus
You know I thought it was a Family tradition
Nice, oh yeah
