Heartbeat City
[Verse 1]
Oh Heartbeat City, here we come
And happy days count on thumbs
And nothin' really gets us down
As long as Jacki's back in town

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm glad you made it
I can't complain

[Chorus]
Oh Jacki, what took you so long?
On just a holiday
Oh Jacki, what took you so long?
I thought you knew the way?
Heartbeat City

[Verse 2]
The noise electric, never stops
And all you need is what you got
And there's a place for everyone
Under Heartbeat City's golden sun

[Chorus]
Oh Jacki, what took you so long?
On just a holiday
Oh Jacki, what took you so long?
I thought you knew the way
[Bridge]
You know, I'm glad you made it
I can't complain
I missed you so badly
When you jumped that train

[Chorus]
Oh Jacki, what took you so long?
On just a holiday
Oh Jacki, what took you so long?
I thought you knew the way

[Outro]
Heartbeat City
Oh Heartbeat City, lights at night
Heartbeat City
It's getting closer, out of sight
Heartbeat City
Heartbeat City's on the loose
Heartbeat City
Better catch the blue caboose
Oh, huh, Heartbeat City
It's my life
Heartbeat City
Heartbeat City
Heartbeat City
