Judy Collins - Raised On Rock And Roll Lyrics
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and rollOh, and that music filled my soulI've been wild since I was youngTakin' my freedom out on the runFought the rules, fought the ropesWhen I was rolling, when I was brokeDid my drinking, had my funNothing ever got in my wayDid my loving as I pleased"This is livin'," I used to sayI am an eagle and I've got to flyClimbin' against the windI am a spirit who will never breakNever have a heart to mendOh, oh, I was raised on rock and rollOh, and that music filled my soulSomewhere on that freedom roadStarted fighting for my own soulThought of Jimmy and Janis, tooLivin' fast til they were throughThen my heart began to breakFallin' when I wanted to flySomeone said, "Gal, slow downYou're too young, too young to die"Even an eagle has to fall sometimesClimbing against the windEven a strong heart has to breakAnd learn to love and heal againAll that runnin' got to meCould 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 meTellin' me that I would surviveSaid, "You're strong, you sing your songKnow you're lucky to be alive"Still my spirit yearns to runChasing every star in the skyWild and free I'll always beI've got someone, I've got meI am an eagle and I have to flyClimbing against the windI've had a heart that had to breakTo learn to heal and love againEven an eagle has to fall sometimesClimbing against the windEven a strong heart has to breakAnd learn to love and heal againOh, oh, I was raised on rock and rollOh, and that music filled my soulOh, oh, I was raised on rock and rollOh, and that music filled my soulOh, oh, I was raised on rock and rollOh, and that music filled my soulOh, oh, I was raised on rock and rollOh, and that music filled my soul
