Songtext
Midnight ridin' in my old two-seater, rollin' down the boulevard
The headlights shinin' on rusty fences as I pass the rail yard
In black leather jacket on a Friday night
Fire up the lighter and a Lucky Strike
The radio's sayin', "Take a walk on the wild side"
And it's got me feelin' like
(Whoa, oh-oh)
(Whoa, oh-oh)
We go wide open, it's a pedal-down kinda thing (thing)
A little bit of mo-town smooth, a little bit of Memphis blues
A sweet emotion rainin' all over me (me)
And give me that heart and that soul
American rock 'n' roll
I can see the banner on the courthouse flyin', proud red, white, and blue
I can see her waivin' on the corner, smilin', 'cause she feels just like I do
And now she's sittin' right next to me
Everything's how it oughta be
Bein' young in the land of the free
And she's got me feelin' like
(Whoa, oh-oh)
(Whoa, oh-oh)
We go wide open, it's a pedal-down kinda thing (thing)
A little bit of Folsom blues, a little gangster smooth
A sweet emotion rainin' all over me (me)
And give me that heart and that soul
American rock 'n' roll
Midnight ridin' in my old two-seater, rollin' down the boulevard
The headlights shinin' on rusty fences as I pass the rail yard (mm-hm)
(Whoa, whoa-oh) ooh
And it's got me feelin' like (yeah, yeah)
(Whoa, whoa-oh)
(Hey, yeah-yeah)
We go wide open (whoa, oh-oh), it's a pedal down kinda thing (whoa, oh-oh)
A little bit of delta blues, a little blue suede shoes
A sweet emotion rainin' all over me (whoa, oh-oh)
And give me that heart and that soul
American rock 'n' roll (whoa, oh-oh), oh-whoa (whoa, oh-oh)
American rock 'n' roll (whoa, oh-oh), oh-whoa (whoa, oh-oh)
American rock 'n' roll (whoa, oh-oh), oh-whoa (whoa, oh-oh)
(Whoa, oh-oh)
(Whoa, oh-oh) American rock 'n' roll
