Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 and roll [Chorus] I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul Every day when I got home, I turned on my radio [Verse 2] 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" [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 But every time I hear it, Lord, it takes me home [Chorus] I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul Every day when I got home, I turned on my radio [Verse 4] Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt My papa loved to listen to those country songs While I was in the back room, rocking on [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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 I was born to love the beat, I was made for rock and roll I was born to love the beat— (That's a gas)
