Song Lyrics

Midnight riding in my old two seater rolling down the boulevard
Headlights shining on rusty fences as I pass the rail yard
Black leather jacket on a Friday night
Fire up the lighter and a Lucky Strike
The radio's saying "take a walk on the wild side"
And it's got me feeling like

Oh oh oh oh
Go wide open it's a pedal down kind of a thing
Little bit of Motown smooth
A little bit of Memphis Blues
A sea of emotion raining all over me
Give me that heart and that soul
American rock 'n roll

I can see the banner on the courthouse flying proud red, white, and blue
I can see her waiving on the corner smiling cause she feels just like I do
Now she's sitting right next to me
Everything's how it oughta be
Being young in the land of the free
And she's got me feeling like

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Go wide open it's a pedal down kind of a thing
A little bit of Folsom Blues
A little bit of gangster smooth
A sea of emotion raining all over me
Give me that heart and that soul
American rock 'n roll

Midnight riding in my old two seater rolling down the boulevard
Headlights shining on rusty fences as I pass the rail yard
Oh oh oh oh
And it's got me feeling like
Oh oh oh oh
Hey yeah
Go wide open it's a pedal down kind of a thing
A little bit of Delta Blues
A little Blue Suede Shoes
A sea of emotion raining all over me (oh oh oh)
Give me that heart and that soul
American rock 'n roll
Oh oh American rock 'n roll
Oh oh American rock 'n roll
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh American rock 'n roll
