Born to Rock ‘n’ Roll Lyrics by The Byrds

Byrds

1973

Some people born in old Kentucky
Think they're living in a tunnel mine of coal
Other people born not quite so lucky
Giving everything by selling out their soul
Believe that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and keep them from the cold
Sometimes you get to do the things you're meant to
And I know that I was born to rock n roll
Born to rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Always wanted to be a fireman
Just to steer the hook and ladder from behind
Then I thought I'd be a great inventor
But I found it might be too hard on my mind
I know that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and to keep them it's all in the cards you hold
Yes I said I believe in magic
And I believe that I was born to rock n roll
Born to rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll, satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll, satisfy your soul
[Repeat to end]
