Marshall Plan lyrics

In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west
Where Friday takes so long toarrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming turns on the radio
The he jumps up playshis guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a rock and rollpose
Tonight's the night that Susie and he
Are going to a rock and rollshow

Tonight! I'm gonna see some rock and roll!
Yeah, my favoritegroup is playing!
Tonight! I'm gonna see some rock and roll!

Well it'sshowtime and he's caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush but he loves themusic loud
He reaches out and Susie's disappeared,
Now Johnny's standingon a corner after the show
Looking for his Susie dear
But there goes hisSusie - in the band's limousine!
Yeah, well that's the way it goes at theserock and roll shows

That's the way it goes - it's rock and roll
That'sthe way it goes - it's rock and roll

Now Susie's gone, and Johnny hearsthe thunder
As he rolls another number and he counts
He counts the timeshe's felt himself to be the hero
'Cause ever since he was a boy
He's heardabout adventure
As he looks into the mirror now he knows
He must be thestar and play guitar like thunder
Find Susie at his rock and rollshow

Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp
Boy, it wouldn'tbe somebody else taking my girl away...tell ya
I know what I should do...I'llput an ad in the paper
Get a few other guys who want to play as much as Ido
Tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf music
I'm gonna play some heavymusic
I'm gonna play bad
I'm gonna play loud
I know just what I want itto sound like
It's gonna sound like...
It's gonna soundlike...

This is Don Kirshner
And tonight on Don Kirshner's RockConcert
A new phenomenon in the music world
With six million albums to hiscredit in just two short years
My good friend, here's Johnny!

NowJohnny became a legend in his time
Found it easier to live in pain
Half ahero in a hard-hearted game
Now it's showtime and he's caught up in theflow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out butSusie's disappeared
Well that's the way it goes at these rock and rollshows

It's rock and roll
That's the way it goes - It's rock androll
