Raised on Rock and Roll
Words and
Music by Judy Collins

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.
