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
I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when 
I get home 
I turn on my radio
And listen to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the 
DJ's played
The 'Honky 
Tonk', 'Hound 
Dog', 'Johnny 
B. Goode''
The Chain 
Gang', 'Love 
Is Strange', '
Knock On Wood'
I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat of that thing called rock and roll, yeah
They thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation they knew it would last
Time gone by, the beat goes on
And every time 
I hear it, it takes me home
I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when 
I get home 
I turn on my radio
Mama played recordings of 
Beethoven's 
FifthMoonlight 
Sonata down the classical 
LisztDaddy loved to listen to his country songs
I was in the back room diggin' the 
StonesI was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat of that thing called rock and roll
I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when 
I get home 
I turn on my radio, radio
