Raised On Rock And Roll Lyrics

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul

I've been wild since I was young

Takin' my freedom out on the run

Fought the rules, fought the ropes

When I was rolling, when I was broke

Did my drinking, had my fun

Nothing ever got in my way

Did my loving as I pleased

"This is livin'," I used to say

I am an eagle and I've got to fly

Climbin' against the wind

I am a spirit who will never break

Never have a heart to mend

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul

Somewhere on that freedom road

Started fighting for my own soul

Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too

Livin' fast til they were through

Then my heart began to break

Fallin' when I wanted to fly

Someone said, "Gal, slow down

You're too young, too young to die"

Even an eagle has to fall sometimes

Climbing against the wind

Even a strong heart has to break

And learn to love and heal again

All that runnin' got to me

Could I stop and still be free?

Could I break and still be whole?

Would I live to rock and roll?

Got some friends who stood by me

Tellin' me that I would survive

Said, "You're strong, you sing your song

Know you're lucky to be alive"

Still my spirit yearns to run

Chasing every star in the sky

Wild and free I'll always be

I've got someone, I've got me

I am an eagle and I have to fly

Climbing against the wind

I've had a heart that had to break

To learn to heal and love again

Even an eagle has to fall sometimes

Climbing against the wind

Even a strong heart has to break

And learn to love and heal again

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll

Oh, and that music filled my soul
