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
