Raised On Rock

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

But people, let me tell you

It was Rock & Roll

I was raised on rock

I got rhythm in my soul

Everyday when I got home

I turned on my radio

Listenin' to the music that my idols made

I knew every single record the DJ's played

A Honky Tonk, the Hound Dog, the 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 & Roll

Some 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

And everytime I hear it Lord, it takes me home

I was raised on rock

I got rhythm in my soul

Everyday when I got home

I turned on my radio

Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Mozart's sonatas down to classical Liszt

My papa loved to listen to those country songs

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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 & Roll

I was raised on rock

I got rhythm in my soul

I was born to love the beat

I was made for Rock & Roll

I was raised on rock

I got rhythm in my soul
