I remember as a child I used to hear 
D                            G     A 
Music that they played Lord with a feel' 
A 
Some call it folk, some call it soul 
D                            G         A 
People let me tell you it was rock and roll 
A 
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul 
      D                                  G        E 
Every day when I got home I turned on my radi-o-o-o-o-o 
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
