American Heartbeat Lyrics

The night's alive with wind and fire 
We telegraph our heart's desire 
Though the night, with our eyes 
Wheels are turnin', fast and hard 
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard 
Hear them pound, young and proud 
It's the American Heartbeat 
Chart the stars and head out for the action 
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction 

It's the American heartbeat 
The American heartbeat 
It's the American heartbeat 
Oh the American heartbeat 

The stage is set, the roles are chosen 
The lights grow hot at the midnight's closin' 
In at last, it comes so fast 
Poundin' harder at the midnight striking 
It hits us like a bolt of lightning 
Deeper down it's the sound of the American Heartbeat 
Chart the stars and head out for the action 
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction 

It's the American heartbeat (fast in love) 
The American heartbeat (young and bright) 
American heartbeat (oh) 
The American heartbeat 
It's the American heartbeat (American heartbeat) 
The American heartbeat (American) 
It's the American heartbeat 
Oh, the American heartbeat 

American heartbeat 
It's the American heartbeat 
The American heartbeat 
Oh, it's the American heartbeat 
It's the American heartbeat (American heartbeat) 
The American heartbeat (American) 
It's the American heartbeat 
Oh the American heartbeat 
The American heartbeat (American heartbeat) 
It's the American heartbeat (American) 
The American heartbeat 
Oh the American heartbeat 
The American heartbeat (American heartbeat) 
The American heartbeat
