Cactus Tree Lyrics - Bohemian - Judy Collins

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll 

Oh, and that music filled my soul 

I've been wild since I was young 

Takin' my freedom out on the run 

Fought the rules, fought the ropes 

When I was rolling, when I was broke 

Did my drinking, had my fun 

Nothing ever got in my way 

Did my loving as I pleased 

"This is livin'," I used to say 

I am an eagle and I've got to fly 

Climbin' against the wind 

I am a spirit who will never break 

Never have a heart to mend

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll 

Oh, and that music filled my soul 

Somewhere on that freedom road 

Started fighting for my own soul 

Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too 

Livin' fast til they were through 

Then my heart began to break 

Fallin' when I wanted to fly 

Someone said, "Gal, slow down 

You're too young, too young to die" 

Even an eagle has to fall sometimes 

Climbing against the wind 

Even a strong heart has to break 

And learn to love and heal again 

All that runnin' got to me 

Could I stop and still be free? 

Could I break and still be whole? 

Would I live to rock and roll? 

Photos 

Got some friends who stood by me 

Tellin' me that I would survive 

Said, "You're strong, you sing your song 

Know you're lucky to be alive" 

Still my spirit yearns to run 

Chasing every star in the sky 

Wild and free I'll always be 

I've got someone, I've got me 

I am an eagle and I have to fly 

Climbing against the wind 

I've had a heart that had to break 

To learn to heal and love again 

Even an eagle has to fall sometimes 

Climbing against the wind 

Even a strong heart has to break 

And learn to love and heal again 

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll 

Oh, and that music filled my soul 

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll 

Oh, and that music filled my soul 

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll 

Oh, and that music filled my soul 

Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll 

Oh, and that music filled my soul
