I remember as a child I used to hear
|
Music that they played Lord 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, I got rhythm in my soul
|
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio
|
|
Listening 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, I got rhythm in my soul
|
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
|
|
I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
|
But the younger generation knew it would last
|
Time's gone by, the beat goes on
|
But every time I hear it Lord it takes me home
|
|
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
|
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio
|
|
Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
|
Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt
|
My papa loved to listen to his country songs
|
While I was in the back room rockin' on
|
|
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
|
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
|
|
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
|
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
|
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
|
