In a dark horse town, in the middle of the westWhere Friday takes so long to arriveJohnny wakes up dreaming and turns on the radioThe he jumps up playin' his guitar in the mirrorStarts his day with a rock and roll pulseTonight's the night that Suzy and heAre goin' to a rock and roll showTonight, I'm gonna see some rock and rollYeah, my favorite group is playin'Tonight, I'm gonna see some rock and rollWell it's showtime, and he's caught up in the crowdHe hates the crush, but he loves the music loudHe reaches out, but Suzy's disappeared,Now Johnny's standin' on a corner, after the showLookin' for his Suzy dearBut there goes his Suzy in the band's limousine, yeahWell that's the way it goes at these rock and roll showsThat's the way it goesIt's rock and rollWell, that's the way it goesIt's rock and rollSongtexteNow Suzy's gone, and Johnny hears a thunderAs he rolls another number and he countsHe counts the times he's dreamt himself to be the hero'Cause then when Suzy (was a bore??)He's heard about adventureAs he looks into the mirror now he knowsHe must be the star and play guitar like thunderAnd find Suzy at his rock and roll showBoy, if I only had a good guitar and a big ampBoy, it wouldn't be somebody else takin' my girl awayI tell ya, I know what I should doI'll put an ad in the paper, and get a few other guysWho want to play as much as I doI tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf musicI'm gonna play some heavy musicI'm gonna play bad, I'm gonna play loudI know just what I want it to sound likeIt's gonna sound like, it's gonna sound like -This is Don KirshnerAnd tonight on Don Kirshner's Rock ConcertA new phenomenon in the music worldWith six million albums to his credit in just two short yearsMy good friend, here's JohnnyNow Johnny became a legend in his timeFound it easier to live in painHalf-a-hero in a hard-hearted gameNow it's showtime, and he's caught up in the glowHe hates the rush but he needs the music soStill he reaches out, but Suzy's disappearedWell that's the way it goes at these rock and roll showsIt's rock and rollThat's the way it goes, it's rock and roll That's the way it goes, it's rock and roll Aus Songtexte Mania
