Lyrics:

Well I was born in Tennessee but it couldn't hold me
I told my mama and my daddy that I got to be free
I moved to California where the sun shines all day long
If it feels so good, girl, you know it ain't wrong

I started playin' in the clubs, playin' keys
I started chasin' every woman laid a smile on me
Played with Guns N' Roses by the time that I was twenty-three
Yes, there wasn't no rock 'n' roller alive that was rock 'n' roll enough for me

Yeah, 'cause I wanna get down
Down like a basset hound
Down to the honky tonk (sound?)
Burn this juke joint down
Make Hank proud
Get drunk
Get loud
I'm bound ta git down
Bound ta git down

Well I made a few records, I wrote a few songs
I took 'em down to Nashville and set it all up
Did you hear from the bus (?) Tennessee
See if I end up (drinkin'?) I'll be out of bullets, scream for me

Now I got me a house in the Hollywood Hills
I smoke me some weed but I don't take no pills
I got me a band, we love jammin'
On my gray guitar, on my gray Hammond
I might set up a band with Marilyn Manson
Call it Johnny B. Bad
You know that I'm bound ta git down

Down like a basset hound
Down to the honky tonk (sound?)
Burn this juke joint down
Make Hank proud
Get drunk
Get loud
I'm bound ta git down
Bound ta git down

(Instrumental Interlude)

Oh I wanna get down
Down like a basset hound
Down to the honky tonk (sound?)
Burn this juke joint down
Make Hank proud
Get drunk
Get loud
I'm bound ta git down
Bound ta git down
