The night's alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart's desire through the night with our eyes
Wheels are tuniing 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
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
Chart the stars and head out for the action
Hit the streets an find some satisfaction
It's the American heartbeat - young and proud
The American heartbeat - young and proud
American heartbeat
the American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
it's the American heartbeat
