| RAISED ON ROCK
ELVIS PRESLEY
Written by M. James
I remember as a child
I used to hear
music that they played
with a feel
Some called it folk
some called it soul
but people
let me tell you
it was rock and roll
I was Raised On Rock
got that rhythm
in my soul
Ev'ry day
when I got home
I turned on my radio
and listened
to the music
that my idols made
I knew ev'ry single
record the D.J.'s played
from Honky Tonk
Hound Dog
Johnny B. Goode
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 a thing called
rock and roll
Some thought
it was a fad
thought it
would pass but the
younger generation
knew it would last
Time's gone by
and the beat goes on
ev'rytime I hear it
it takes me home
I was Raised On Rock
got that rhythm
in my soul
I was born
to love the beat
of a thing called
rock and roll
My Mother played
recordings of
Beethoven's Fifth
Mozart's Sonatas
down the classical list
My papa loved
to listen
to those country songs
while I was
in the backroom
digging the Stone
I was Raised On Rock
got that rhythm
in my soul
I was born
to love the beat
of a thing called
rock and roll
I was Raised On Rock
got that rhythm
in my soul
I was born
to love the beat
of a thing called
rock and roll
I was Raised On Rock
I was raised
on rock and roll
