Raised On Rock And Roll

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
