Lucinda Williams' album version
Working class kid in a dead end town
Wants to get out before it brings him down
Turns on the radio, hears a sound
Now he knows that he's been found
Blue collar boy in a no win town
Has to get out before they take him down
Playing that guitar is all he needs
Follow that dream wherever it leads
Outside of the outsiders
Everything changed when he heard that song
That's when you know you've got a rock and roll heart
Yeah yeah yeah, a rock and roll heart
You don't have to be that smart
You don't have to be a work of art
As long as you've got a rock and roll heart
It can't bе broken or torn apart
Yeah, you've got a rock and roll hеart
Rock and roll reached down into my house
Reached right down and pulled me out
Talked to me and I knew then
What I was gonna be all about
Outside of the outsiders
Everything changed when I heard that song
That's when you know you've got a rock and roll heart
Yeah yeah yeah, a rock and roll heart
You don't have to be that smart
You don't have to be a work of art
As long as you've got a rock and roll heart
It can't be broken or torn apart
Yeah, you've got a rock roll heart
That's when you know you've got a rock and roll heart
Yeah yeah yeah, a rock and roll heart
You don't have to be that smart
You don't have to be a work of art
That's when you know you've got a rock and roll heart
Yeah yeah yeah, a rock and roll heart
As long as you've got a rock and roll heart
It can't be broken or torn apart
Yeah, you've got a rock and roll heart
