Johnny Winter - Raised on Rock lyrics
[Johnny Winter - Raised on Rock lyrics]
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 Fifth
Moonlight Sonata down the classical Liszt
Daddy loved to listen to his country songs
I was in the back room diggin' the Stones
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
I was raised on rock
Got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when I get home I turn on my radio
Radio
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

But the younger generation they

And every time I hear it, it takes me home
