I was born in a hurricane
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
Ran before I walked
Reaching for the top
Out of control just like a runaway train

I never walked on the narrow path
I always wanted what I did't have
All was not enough
Riding lady luck
Driving in the fast lane and just stepped on the gas

Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock

Shoot me up baby make me high
And hit the jackpot in the heat of the night
Wanna kiss your lips
Wanna move your hips
See my desire in your laser-beam eyes

You shake me up got me spinning 'round
You know what's going up must come down
Tomorrow I'll be gone
A million miles from home
The only road I know leads out of town

Cause I was raised on rock
My dad was howling but my heart was a rolling stone
Yeah I was raised on rock
My mama said I had a devil to scratch my soul
And I was raised on rock

Growing up with the guitar men
Growing up way too fast
Follow the sound of a rock And roll band
This call will always last

Cause I was raised on rock

You know you love to fight
Staying out all night
There's something wild in you
I can't control
In your leather and lace
No one can match your face
'Cause you were raised on rock
Just like me

Oh, I love you
You don't put up no disguise
Must be the magic you supply
Yes we love the game, and we'll fade away
'Cause we were raised on rock

No one pulls your strings
You do your own thing
It's the best way to live
Fast and free
You're ready to explode
You're much too hot to hold
'Cause you were raised on rock
Just like me

Oh, your love is loud
Country sister's sound
The way you strut your stuff
It's so nice
Got so much energy
You're so special to see
'Cause you were raised on rock
Just like me

Yeah, raised on rock 'n' roll
Raised on rock

I remember as a child I used to hearMusic that they played Lord with a feel'Some call it folk, some call it soulPeople let me tell you it was rock and rollI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soulEvery day when I got home I turned on my radioListening to the music that my idols madeI knew every single record the DJ's playedA honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. GoodeChain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On WoodI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soulI was born to love the beat I was made for rock and rollI thought it was a fad, thought that it would passBut the younger generation knew it would lastTime's gone by, the beat goes onBut every time I hear it Lord it takes me homeI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soulEvery day when I got home I turned on my radioMother played recordings of Beethoven's FifthMozart's sonatas down the classical LisztMy papa loved to listen to his country songsWhile I was in the back room rockin' onI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soulI was born to love the beat I was made for rock and rollI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soulI was born to love the beat I was made for rock and rollI was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
