I used to listen to the radio 

Playin' songs I wanted to hear 

Up in my room and played it loud 

'Til the music hurt my ear 

My parents said to turn it down 

But this is what I'd say 



Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 



I had a dream that I was sweet 16 

And could play in a rock & roll band 

I saw some guys that played guitar 

They said, "Come on if you think you can." 

And the next thing that I know 

I find myself right here on the stage 



Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am... 



You know people are always tellin' me 

To get out before its too late 

Say, "Its a passing fad." 

And that the money's bad 

I'm gonna wind up in a grave 

But if I could do it all again, you know I would not change a thing 



Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 



Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today 

Rock & Roll made me what I am today
