Lyrics

To get a bite, we'll ride from the Apple
It's time to set this thing in motion
Roll through Detroit to feel out the action
You know that we'll be causing a commotion
West to Chicago for a soulful super cha
We'll be groovin' through Ohio, reachin' out for the star
Because the beat is in heat and it's coming your way
We'll be burnin' through the nation
Boogiein' from state to state
All the way
Turning around to catch Philadelphia
We're sure they got their sounds together
We'll hit in the south, through both Carolinas
'Cause they can funk in any kind of weather
We'll pass Atlanta with a special kind of groove
'Cause them folks down there in Georgia know the right things to move
You know the beat is in heat and it's coming your way
We'll be burnin' through the nation
Boogiein' from state to state
All the way
Ain't no stop, we're gonna keep it hot
Got to raise our spirits high above us
Hold on tight, come on and do it right
We can bring this world alive with love
Jump on the feeling and you'll never let it go
We can cruise right into DC, even rock Idaho
Because the beat is in heat and it's coming your way
We'll be burnin' through the nation
Boogiein' from state to state
All the way
Ain't no stop, we're gonna keep it hot
Got to raise our spirits high above us
Hold on tight, come on and do it right
We can bring this world alive with love
Leavin' the east, we'll steam through to Texas
No doubt that Houston's got the music
We'll beat to the west, we'll cruise California
'Cause L.A. folks ain't never gonna lose it
No matter where you live, we're comin' after you
So get ready for the rhythm, got to kick off your shoes
Because the beat is in heat and it's coming your way
We'll be burnin' through the nation
Boogiein' from state to state
All the way
There's a party goin' down
From the east to the west, you can hear the sound
Gotta get into the jam
From the north to the south, anywhere you go
