[Verse 1]
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

[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 that the DJ's played
Honky-Tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode
Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood

[Chorus 2]
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]
I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation knew it would last
Time's gone by and the beat goes on
Every time I hear it, 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 playing the songs

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
I was raised on rock
I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home
I turned on my radio

[Chorus 2]
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
