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
