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

Every day when I get home I turn on my radio



And listen to the music that my idols made

I knew every single record the DJ's played

The "Honky Tonk", "Hound Dog", "Johnny B. Goode"

"The 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 called rock and roll, yeah



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

But the younger generation they knew it would last

Time gone by, the beat goes on

And every time I hear it, it takes me home



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

Every day when I get home I turn 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 called rock and roll

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

Every day when I get home I turn on my radio, radio
