Born To Play Guitar

I was born in Louisiana

And at the age of two

My mama told my papa

Our little boy's got the blues

I grew up real fast

And I've traveled very far

One damn thing's for sure

I was born to play the guitar

I got a reputation and everybody knows my name

I was born to play the guitar

People, I got blues running through my veins

Women in Chicago, they love me to the bone

But my love for my guitar keep me far away from home

I got a reputation, oh, everybody knows my name, yeah

I was born to play my guitar, I got the blues running through my veins

I got six strings loaded, on my bad machine

Show me the money, and I'll make this damn thing scream

I'm gonna keep on playing, and on my dying day

A polka dot guitar will be resting on my grave

I got this young reputation, and everybody knows my name

What a guy that is

You know I was born to play this here guitar

I got the blues running through my veins
