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