In A Dark Horse Town, In The Middle Of The West

Where Friday Takes So Long To Arrive

Johnny Wakes Up Dreaming And Turns On The Radio



The He Jumps Up Playin' His Guitar In The Mirror

Starts His Day With A Rock And Roll Pulse

Tonight's The Night That Suzy And He

Are Goin' To A Rock And Roll Show



Tonight, I'm Gonna See Some Rock And Roll

Yeah, My Favorite Group Is Playin'

Tonight, I'm Gonna See Some Rock And Roll



Well It's Showtime, And He's Caught Up In The Crowd

He Hates The Crush, But He Loves The Music Loud

He Reaches Out, But Suzy's Disappeared,



Now Johnny's Standin' On A Corner, After The Show

Lookin' For His Suzy Dear

But There Goes His Suzy In The Band's Limousine, Yeah

Well That's The Way It Goes At These Rock And Roll Shows



That's The Way It Goes

It's Rock And Roll

Well, That's The Way It Goes

It's Rock And Roll



Now Suzy's Gone, And Johnny Hears A Thunder

As He Rolls Another Number And He Counts

He Counts The Times He's Dreamt Himself To Be The Hero



'Cause Then When Suzy (was A Bore??)

He's Heard About Adventure

As He Looks Into The Mirror Now He Knows

He Must Be The Star And Play Guitar Like Thunder

And Find Suzy At His Rock And Roll Show



Boy, If I Only Had A Good Guitar And A Big Amp

Boy, It Wouldn't Be Somebody Else Takin' My Girl Away

I Tell Ya, I Know What I Should Do

I'll Put An Ad In The Paper, And Get A Few Other Guys

Who Wanna Play As Much As I Do

I Tell Ya, I Ain't Playin' No Surf Music

I'm Gonna Play Some Heavy Music

I'm Gonna Play Bad, I'm Gonna Play Loud

I Know Just What I Want It To Sound Like

It's Gonna Sound Like, It's Gonna Sound Like -
