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
