Now before I could walk I had a guitar in my hand by the time I could talk I had my own band,

[2MidnightRiders]

went on the road when I was eight years old when I turned fifteen I was stealing the show.

[2MidnightRiders]

Money to burn and the girls were pretty it didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie.

[2MidnightRiders]

When I was eighteen I went to Hollywood I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode,

[2MidnightRiders]

Got my guitar painted in the California sun a red caddilac having to much fun.

[2MidnightRiders]

Now we were playing them halls and jammin' then until they moved me on over to M.G.M.
