Born to Rock Songtext
von Carl Perkins

My mama told me she said
Son you might not stop
Mama you′re just a little bit late
'Cause your cat′s got to rock

I feel the rhythm in me
Rockabilly music sends me wild
I'm afraid it does, mama
Ah, excuse me mom, 'cause I can′t stop

This rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock
Born to roll

I played my guitar when I lived down on the farm
My daddy thought one time it′d grown to my arm
And I feel the fire down in me
Rockabilly music sends me wild

Ah, excuse me dad, 'cause I can′t stop
Your rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock
Born to roll


I'm gonna rock, rock, rock till I drop
Well, I′m gonna roll, roll, roll till I roll
Well, I'm gonna rock, rock, rock till I drop
I′m gonna roll, roll, roll till I roll

Ah, thank you folks for one more shot
This rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock
Born to roll

We got all the good folks now just working on space
And I do believe they're gonna make it some day
They'll park their ship on Mars
And find there′s cats rocking round the stars
They will

Ha-ha, well they might
Ah, thank you, Jack, for one more shot
This rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock
Born to roll

Well, I′m gonna rock, rock, rock till I drop
Yeah, I'm gonna roll, roll, roll till I roll
Well, I′m gonna rock, rock, rock till I drop
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll till I roll


I want to thank you folks for one more shot
This rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock
Born to roll

Born to rock
Born to roll
Born to rock
Born to roll
Born to rock
Born to roll

I was born to rock
Born to roll
Yeah, I want to thank you Jack for one more shot
This rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock
Born to roll
C′mon rock
