Heart Of Rock and Roll

Verse 1

Knocking

Wood of a battered Fender

Thinking of a night on the Jersey Shore

Sweat on the frets

Lower rhythms setting us free

Fingers sliding fast across the strings

Small town dreams taking flight on eagle wings

Got empty pockets

Just a feeling in the chest

Moving to the city then heading out west

Chorus

Give it everything

Give it all away

It is the fire that we find

It is the fuel for the day

Turn it up

Turn it up

Let it take control

Yeah, the heart of rock and roll

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Take it to the limit

Oh oh oh

Never gonna quit it

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Smoke

Hanging in the rafters high

Waiting for the stars in a midnight sky

Broken down van

Parked by the side of the road

Carrying the songs and a massive load

We can make it to the bright lights

Turning up the volume on those summer nights

Driving through the rain

Chasing down a dream

From the valley down to the sea

Chorus

Give it everything

Give it all away

It is the fire that we find

It is the fuel for the day

Turn it up

Turn it up

Let it take control

Yeah, the heart of rock and roll

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Take it to the limit

Oh oh oh

Never gonna quit it

Oh oh oh

Bridge

Can you hear it screaming

Can you hear it crying

Can you hear it living

It never stays quiet for very long

It lives inside the hook of a simple song

Thumping like a heartbeat

Wilder than a rolling stone

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Give it everything

Give it all away

It is the fire that we find

It is the fuel for the day

Turn it up

Turn it up

Let it take control

Yeah, the heart of rock and roll

Outro

Keep it loud

Keep it loud

Heart of rock and roll

Yeah it is in your soul

Don't let go

Don't let go

Oh oh oh
