Not Born To Boogie

I was born in nineteen fifty six
When I was just turned twelve years old
The first two chords of Blue Suede Shoes was all it took
Yeah, from then on I was sold

From then on I was growing up
And the music kept me sane
All the time when I was Tryin' To Get To You
And ridin' on my Mystery Train

They tried to tell me rock and roll would never last
I said - You're crazy, you're just livin' in the past

And if you're Not Born To Boogie
Just get your hands offa my rock and roll
If you're Not Born To Boogie
There's no way to explain if it just ain't in your soul
So if it's not your bag 
Why can't you let me be?
Why don't you quit your drag
And set the music free?

The music's changed a bit since then
But then again maybe not that much
'Cause all it takes is just two chords of Blue Suede Shoes
And I'm right back in touch

The music's changed but the vibrations are still good
It still comes through for me like I knew it would

But if you're not born to boogie
Just get your hands off of my rock and roll
If you're not born to boogie
There's no way to explain if it just ain't in your soul
So if it's not your bag 
Why can't you let me be?
Why don't you quit your drag 
And set the music free?
Let my music be
Let my music be
Let my music be
