In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west
Where Friday takes so long to arrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming, turns on the radio
Then he wakes up, plays his guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a rock and roll pose
Tonight's the night that Susie and he
Are going to a rock and roll show
Tonight I'm gonna see some rock and roll
Yeah, my favorite group is playing
Tonight I'm gonna see some rock and roll
Now it's showtime and he's caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush, but he loves the music loud
He reaches out and Susie's disappeared
Now Johnny's standing on a corner after the show
Looking for his Susie dear
But there goes his Susie in the band's limousine
Well, that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
That's the way it goes, it's rock and roll
That's the way it goes, it's rock and roll
Now Susie's gone, and Johnny hears the thunder
As he rolls another number and he counts
He counts the times he's felt himself to be the hero
'Cause ever since he was a boy he's heard about adventure
As he looks into the mirror, now he knows
That he must be the star and play guitar like thunder
Find Susie at his rock and roll show
Yeah, if I only had a good guitar and a big amplifier
It wouldn't be no other guy taking my girl away
Yeah, I think I know what I gotta do, I'll put an ad in the paper
Get together with some other people who wants to play rock and roll as much as I do
Yeah, won't playin' no surf music
I'll play it hard, I'll play it bad, I'll play it loud
I think I know just what I want it to sound like, yeah
It will sound like
It will sound like
This is Don Kirshner
And tonight on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
A new phenomenon in the music world
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
My good friend, here's Johnny
Now Johnny became a legend in his time
He found it easier to live in pain
Half a hero in a hard-hearted game
Now it's showtime and he's caught up in the flow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out, but Susie's disappeared
Well, that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
It's rock and roll
That's the way it goes
It's rock and roll
That's the way it goes
It's rock and roll
That's the way it goes
It's rock and roll
