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
