The Heart of Rock and Roll (Single Edit) Lyrics
New York, New York, is everything they say
And no place that I'd rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
All at a quarter to threeWhen they play their music, ooh, that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really drives 'em wildThey say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll's still beatingLA, Hollywood and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantilyWhen they play their music
That hard rock music
They like it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really kicks 'em in theThey say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll is still beatingJohnny!DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town
Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
Seattle, San Francisco tooEverywhere there's music, real live music
Bands with a million styles
But it's still that some old rock and roll music
That really, really drives 'em wildThey say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll is still beating, yeahIn Cleveland, Detroit
Uh! Heart of rock and roll
