But the heart of rock and roll
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
Bands with a million styles
They like it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
But the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll's still beating
That really, really drives 'em wild
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
Johnny!
Boston and Baton Rouge
Heart of rock and roll is still beating
Seattle, San Francisco too
Where else can you do a half a million things
When they play their music
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
LA, Hollywood and the Sunset Strip
When they play their music, ooh, that modern music
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
Is something everyone should see
All at a quarter to three
That hard rock music
But the heart of rock and roll
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
They like it with a lot of style
DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
That really, really kicks 'em in the
That really, really drives 'em wild
But it's still that some old rock and roll music
Everywhere there's music, real live music
Heart of rock and roll is still beating, yeah
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
In Cleveland, Detroit
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
All dressed so scantily
