Goode Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass But the younger generation knew it would last Time's gone by, the beat goes on But every time I hear it Lord it takes me home I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul Every day when I got home I turned on my radio Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt My papa loved to listen to his country songs While I was in the back room rockin' on I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul ...
