American Heartbeat

Jonathan Cain

Young restless in the heartland
Undecided, trying hard to understand
Bold rebels, faded glory
Almighty dollar, making their demands

And all the hometown rallied
On every dream worth trying
And when we feel the lightning stealin' thunder
Never give in

The sleepless eyes keep on burning
And on the fire take on the heat
We multiply sweet home and hearted
Change with the times, American heartbeat
American heartbeat, oh

Modern music making headlines
It sets the fashion for everyone to see
In and out of troubled waters
Smooth talkers, promises we'll never keep

And all the hometown rallied
On every dream worth trying
And when we feel the lightning steal your thunder
Never give in

The sleepless eyes keep on burning
And on the fire take on the heat
We multiply sweet home and hearted
Change with the times, American heartbeat
American heartbeat
Yes it is, American heartbeat

And every generation
They feel a new sensation
All day long
Where they find that hunger
Keep on chasing thunder
Never give in

The sleepless eyes keep on burning
And on the fire take on the heat
We won't be long sweet home and hearted
Change with the times

American heartbeat
American heartbeat
It's an American heartbeat
Yes it is
It's an American heartbeat
American heartbeat
