Born To Play Guitar

[Verse 1]
I was born in Louisiana
And at the age of two
My momma 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

[Chorus]
I got a reputation
And everybody knows my name
I was born to play the guitar
People, I got blues running through my veins

[Verse 2]
Women in Chicago
They love me to the bone
But my love for my guitar keep me far away from home

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
I got this young reputation
And everybody know my name
Buddy Guy, that is
You know I was born to play this [?] guitar
I got the blues running through my veins
