Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll   Oh, and that music filled my soul      I've been wild since I was young   Takin' my freedom out on the run   Fought the rules, fought the ropes   When I was rolling, when I was broke      Did my drinking, had my fun   Nothing ever got in my way   Did my loving as I pleased   "This is livin'," I used to say      I am an eagle and I've got to fly   Climbin' against the wind   I am a spirit who will never break   Never have a heart to mend      Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll   Oh, and that music filled my soul      Somewhere on that freedom road   Started fighting for my own soul   Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too   Livin' fast til they were through      Then my heart began to break   Fallin' when I wanted to fly   Someone said, "Gal, slow down   You're too young, too young to die"      Even an eagle has to fall sometimes   Climbing against the wind   Even a strong heart has to break   And learn to love and heal again      All that runnin' got to me   Could I stop and still be free?   Could I break and still be whole?   Would I live to rock and roll?      Got some friends who stood by me   Tellin' me that I would survive   Said, "You're strong, you sing your song   Know you're lucky to be alive"      Still my spirit yearns to run   Chasing every star in the sky   Wild and free I'll always be   I've got someone, I've got me      I am an eagle and I have to fly   Climbing against the wind   I've had a heart that had to break   To learn to heal and love again      Even an eagle has to fall sometimes   Climbing against the wind   Even a strong heart has to break   And learn to love and heal again      Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll   Oh, and that music filled my soul      Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll   Oh, and that music filled my soul      Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll   Oh, and that music filled my soul      Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll   Oh, and that music filled my soul
