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
I was born to Rock & Roll
I was born to Rock & Roll
