Born To Play Guitar - Buddy Guy

I was born in Louisiana

And at the age of two

My mamma 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 know my name

Buddy guy that is

You know I was born to play this here guitar

I got the blues running through my veins
