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
