Raised on Records

I was born to my mother
I was born to free my mind
I was raised on records
Changed my life many times
My father, he bought me a guitar
To keep me company
If I didn't see him much
While I was growin' up
Understand I love that man eternally

I was raised by records
Rock 'n' roll radio
I was raised on records
And if it wasn't for the music
Wasn't for the music
Wasn't for the music
I might have said goodbye
A long, long time ago, oh whoa
A long, long time ago, yeah

I was born like the sun
That's warm above
And promises no lies
Oh, in my time of fear
You were near to show me brighter skies
If I look away, if I look away
From the love that's in your eyes
It's just because my mind's unclear
I need the time here to analyze

I was raised on records
Rock 'n' roll radio
I was raised on records
And if it wasn't for the music
If it wasn't for the music
Wasn't for the music
Oh, I might have said goodbye
A long time ago
If it wasn't for the music
Wasn't for the music
Wasn't for the music, oh
I might have said goodbye
A long, long time ago, oh
