[Verse 1]
Well I was born in Tennessee and it coudln’t hold me
I told my mama and my daddy that I got to be free
I moved to California where the sun shines all day long
If it feels so good, girl you know it ain’t wrong
I started playin’ in the clubs, playin’ keys
I started chasin’ every woman that laid a smile on me
Played with Guns n’ Roses by the time that I was 23
Yes, there ain’t no rock n’ roller alive that was rock n’ rollin’ enough for me
[Chorus]
Yeah, ‘cause I wanna get down
Down like a basset hound
Down to the honky tonk town
Burn this juke joint down
Make Hank proud
Get drunk
Get loud
I’m bound ta git down
Bound ta git down
[Verse 2]
Well I made a few records, I wrote a few songs
I took ‘em down to Nashville and set it all off
Didn’t hear from the bus
Still stuck in traffic back in Tennessee
See if I end up drinkin’ I’ll be out of bullets, scream for me
Now I got me a house in the Hollywood Hills
I smoked me some weed but I don’t take no pills
I got me a man, we love jammin’
On my gray guitar, on my gray hammock
I once saw a band with Marilyn Manson
Called Johnny B. Bad
You know that I’m back in town!
[Chorus]
Down like a basset hound
Down to the honky tonk town
Burn this juke joint down
Make Hank proud
Get drunk
Get loud
I’m bound ta git down
Bound ta git down
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Oh I wanna get down
Down like a basset hound
Down to the honky tonk town
Burn this juke joint down
Make Hank proud
Get drunk
Get loud
I’m bound ta git down
Bound ta git down
[Outro]
Yea-heh-heh
Yeah-heh-he
Yea-heh-heh
Yeah-heh-he
