Raised On Rock

I remember as a child I used to hear

Music that they played, with a feel

Some call it folk, some call it soul

People let me tell you it was Rock and Roll

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul

Everyday when I get home, I turned on my radio

And listen to the music that my idols made

I knew every single record the DJ's played

A honky tonk, a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode

Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul

I was born to love the beat of that thing call rock and roll

[Instrumental]

They thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass

But the younger generation knew it would last

Time gone by, the beat goes on

But every time I hear it, it takes me home

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul

Everyday when I get home, I turned on my radio

Mama played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth

Moonlight sonata down the classical Liszt

Daddy loved to listen to his country songs

I was in the back room diggin' the Stones

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul

I was born to love the beat of that thing call rock and roll

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul

Everyday when I get home, I turned on my radio - radio!
