The night's alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart's desire
Through the night
With our eyes
Wheels are turning fast and hard
Hearts are burnin' on the Boulevard
Hear them pound - young and proud
It's the American heartbeat
(Pre-Chorus)
Chart the stars and head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction
(Chorus)
It's the American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
Oh, the American heartbeat
The stage is set; the roles are chosen
The lights grow hot as the midnight's closin,'
In at last - it comes so fast
Poundin' harder as the midnight's strikin,'
It hits us like a bolt of lightning
Deeper down
It's the sound
Of the American heartbeat
(Pre-Chorus)
Chart the stars and head out for the action
Hit the streets an find some satisfaction
(Chorus)
It's the American heartbeat - fast and loud
The American heartbeat - young and proud
American heartbeat - Ohhh...
The American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat - American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat - American..
It's the American heartbeat - Ohhh..
The American heartbeat
(Keyboard Interlude)
(Chorus)
