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, "It's 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
