Elvis Presley – Raised On Rock lyrics

I remember as a child I used to hear music that played out 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 Everyday when I got home I turned on my radio and listened to the music my idols made I knew every single record the dj's played From Honky Tonk to Hound Dog and Johnny B Goode and 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 Times gone by the beat goes on and every time I hear it roll it takes me back home I was raised on rock got that rhythm in my soul Everyday when I got home I turned on my radio Mother played recordings of Beethoven Fifths Mozart's sonatas down the classical list My papa loved to listen to those country songs While I was in the back room frigging on 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 Explain Request ×
