The Heart Of Rock & Roll Lyrics


Huey Lewis The Heart Of Rock & 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 
All at a quarter to three 
When they palt their music, ooh that modern music 
They like it with a lot of style 
But t's still that same old back beat rhythm 
That 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 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 rock music 
They like it with a lot of flash 
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm 
That 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 is still beating

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 some old rock and roll music 
that 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 is still beating
