Born And Raised On Rock And Roll

I was born here in the midwest

Where we coined the phrase that they still call "rock and roll"

Those rainy old days and cold winter nights

Could never stop the backbeat in my soul

And every time they told me

That it was only the fool

Who would waste their life in a backstage dive

For a good time and a tune i'd say.....

I was born and raised on rock and roll

I learned to sing off the radio

When your born and raised on rock and roll

You play it loud from the heart and soul

Well i really never made much money

But i sure learned a lot about life playing rock and roll

'cause i drove a million miles and copped a lot of styles

Playing one night stands 'til i couldnt get it up anymore

And every day i wonder

What it means to be secure

Do you think i'll ever find out

What the rest of my life means for sure?
