Tribute tune for the "Glimmer Twins"!
"Raised On The Rolling Stones"

Back in '65 rock came alive for me
The Beatles and the Stones and all of their clones
More than just a fad
Makin' momma mad you know

It was the “Bad Boys of Britain” who came rockin' ashore
Rhythm's in my blood and it's beatin' for more
Rockin' up the charts now with nothing to prove
The "Glimmer Twins" were on the move

I was raised on the Rolling Stones
Rock and roll is in my bones
When you're raised on the Rolling Stones
You're never alone

I listened to the legends now the lessons adjourned
Now that class is over come and hear what I've learned
Rockin' to the charts, now I'll lay down a groove
I think the "Glimmer Twins" would approve

'Cause I've been raised on the Rolling Stones
Rock and roll is in my bones
When you're raised on the Rolling Stones
You're never alone

Look at me, here I am
My guitar, in my hand
Live with me, on my cloud
Play with fire, play it loud!

I'm raised on the Rolling Stones
Rock and roll is in my bones
When you're raised on the Rolling Stones
They're never outgrown

I'm raised on the Rolling Stones
I've been raised on the Stones
Raised on the Rolling Stones
My mind has been blown!
