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 'n Roll made me what I am today
Rock 'n Roll made me what I am today
I had a dream that I was sweet sixteen 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 'n Roll made me what I am today
Rock 'n Roll made me what I am today
Rock 'n Roll made me what I am
You know people tell 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 'n Roll made me what I am today
[repeat to fade]
