Words and music by John Kay, Michael Wilk and Rocket Ritchotte
And she walks along by the river Where you can be alone with your dreams And she screams at the world 'I'm done getting burned When do I get my chance for a win Oh and where is my lover when I really need him To give me peace for an angry heart' Ah, but then he pulls up beside her with the radio blastin' And they race down the highway for a brand new start
And the rock n' roll rebels are ridin' tonight Crusin' till daylight again Yes they're rockin' this town for the time of their lives Wishin' this night'd never end
And he locks the door to his secret That holds the key to his hopes and fears For tonight he will try to leave his troubles behind For it has been just one of those years And he picks up the gang at the usual places To hear the soundtrack of their lives Oh yeah, they're rolllin' downtown to hear that rock n' roll music Well, it may not save the world but it helps them survive
And the rock n' roll rebels are ridin' tonight Crusin' till daylight again Yes they're rockin' this town for the time of their lives Wishin' this night'd never end
