Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Well my Momma met my Daddy
Down in Alabam
They tied the knot, so here I am
Born on the bayou on the Texas line
Lived in Louisianna, raised on Jambalya

Now before I could walk
I had a guitar in my hand
By the time I could talk
I had my own band
I 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 are 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 and Marilyn
And Johnny be Good
Got my guitar painted
And some California sun
A red caddilac havin' to much fun

Now we were playin' them halls
And jammin' there
And we moved it on over to MGM
They said this is the boy
We been talkin' about
He lit a cigar and he stuck his hand out

He said son have we got a deal for you
I'm gonna make you a star
Give you fifty thousand too
I showed him my Momma didn't raise no fool
I'll take your money,
I'll make your movies
I can tell you right now
I was born to boogie

INSTRUMENTAL

Well my name is Bo Stevens
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 is 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
And I was born to boogie
