Raised On Rock

(words & music by mark james)

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
