Lyrics The heart of rock and roll Huey Lewis And The News

 932

The heart of rock and roll


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
And all at a quarter to three
When they play their music
Ooh, that modern music
The like it with a lot of style
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really drives them wild

They 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
Heart of roll is still beating

LA, Hollywood and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music
That hard rockin' 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 the...

They 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

Johnny

[Instrumental Interlude]

DC, San Antone and the Liberty town
Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
Seattle, San Francisco too
Everywhere there's music
Real live music
Bands with a million styles
But it's still that same old rock and roll music
That really, really drives 'em wild

They 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, yeah

In Cleveland
Detroit
Heart of rock and roll
Toronto, Montreal
