Now I've been workin' hard for so many years Just tryin' to get myself by Can't talk to people you don't know That's why some of you die Well, I live so hard and I learn so well Just to push myself along But if you're born to Rock & Roll, you should know
I've drank 'shine from a Mason jar To pass my time away Set my sights on a distant star 'Cause I wanted it that way I learned to read and write, sing and fight And all those other things I'm gonna Rock & Roll, baby, For you tonight
I'm comin' home Lord, don't you know When the wind it blows I was born to Rock & Roll
I'm on my way to see Mr. 'J.J.' To tell of things that I've seen To show him, baby, that I got more Moves than your local Cajun Queen Can't talk to people that you don't know That's why some of you die But if you're born to Rock & Roll Then you should know
I'm comin' home Lord, don't you know When the wind it blows I was born to Rock & Roll
