The Heart of Rock & Roll - Huey Lewis & the News

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
