Don’t Stop Believin’ Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just a small-town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
[Verse 2]
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile, they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
[Verse 3]
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
[Verse 4]
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Stone in Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burning love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road tracks
Took me home, we danced by the moonlight
[Chorus]
Those summer nights are calling
Stone in love
Can't help myself, I'm falling
Stone in love
[Verse 2]
Old dusty roads, led to the river
Running slow
She pulled me down, ooh, and in clover
We'd go around, yeah
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burning love comes once in a lifetime
Oh, the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever
[Chorus]
Those summer nights are calling
Stone in love
Can't help myself, I'm falling
Stone in love
[Chorus]
Those summer nights are calling
Stone in love
Can't help myself, I'm falling
Stone in love
[Outro]
(Stone in love)
Stone in love
Stone in love
Stone in love
Stone in love
Keep On Runnin’ Lyrics
7 ContributorsKeep On Runnin’ Lyrics(Intro)
I'm workin' in the city
And this town's got no pity
My boss man owns a heart of stone
I'm on the line, it's overtime
I'll tell you it's a crime
They get me by the hour by my blue collar
Oooh, you're squeezin' me too tight
Oh, it's Friday night
Let's run tonight till the morning light
Keep on runnin'. (Keep on runnin'.)
Keep on hidin'. (Keep on hidin'.)
Keep on runnin' away. (It's okay, it's alright, it's okay.)
It's alright, it's okay
And if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead
Keep on runnin'. (Keep on runnin'.)
Keep on hidin'. (Keep on hidin'.)
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay
Cruisin' with my baby
I think we might just maybe
I find some backseat rhythm and blues
Radio, I said now down we go
Oooh, baby, down we go
Keep on runnin'. (Keep on runnin'.)
Keep on hidin'. (Keep on hidin'.)
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay
(Guitar solo)
Keep on runnin'. (Keep on runnin'.)
Keep on hidin'. (Keep on hidi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-in'.)
Keep on runnin' away
It's alright, it's okay
And if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead
Keep on runnin'. (Keep on runnin'.)
Keep on hidin'. (Keep on hidin'.)
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay
Still They Ride Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jesse rides through the night
Under the Main Street light
Riding slow
This old town, ain't the same
Now nobody knows his name
Times have changed
Still he rides
Traffic lights, keeping time
Woah, leading the wild and restless
Through the night
[Chorus]
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder
[Verse 2]
Spinning around, in a spell
It's hard to leave this carousel
Round and round
And round and round
[Chorus]
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder through the night
Escape Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's just a young boy out of school
Living his world like he wants to
They're makin' laws, but they don't understand
Turns a boy in to a fighting man
They won't take me
They won't break me
No one could tell him what to do
Had to learn everything the hard way
He's on the street, breakin' all the rules
I'm telling you that he's nobody's fool
They won't take me
They won't break me
Now he's leavin', gettin' out from the masquerade
Oh, got to go
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
I'm movin' on where they'll never find me
Rollin' on to anywhere
I'll break away, yes, I'm on my way
Leaving today, yes, I'm on my way
Just when you think you had it all figured out
Runnin' scared can change your mind
I never knew I had so much to give
How hard times can fool you
Oh, I'm okay, I'm all right
Feeling good out on your own
[Outro]
I'll break away, I'll break away tonight
I've got dreams I'm living for
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way
I'm leaving, leaving today
Yes, I'm on my way
This is my escape
Yes, I'm on my way
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way
Lay It Down Lyrics
4 ContributorsLay It Down LyricsLooking round for the feelin'
I love rhythm and blues
The place was rockin' and reelin'
I thought I'd shake me loose
The band was pumpin' Motown
Lord how they could play
The girls a-started singin'
Rock the night away
By the midnight hour
They could have raised the dead
They were taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Oh yeah
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down)
Whisky, wine and women
They get me through the night
I ain't looking for trouble
I ain't looking to fight
A little vertical persuasion
Would do me right
What I'm really needin'
A double shot tonight
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher, I say
Ohh yeah
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Oh yeah, yeah
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down)
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ohh yeah
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Oh yeah, yeah
(Lay it down) Baby, lay it down
(Lay it down) Lay it down, oh yeah
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lay it down) Baby, lay it down
(Lay it down) Lay it down, oh yeah
Dead or Alive Lyrics
9 ContributorsDead Or Alive LyricsA double secret agent
And he was paid to kill
With cold steel magnum force is how the man possessed the skill
He shot a man in Paris
He did a job in L.A
And if the price was right, he'd surely take your life away
Wanted
Wanted
Dead, dead or alive
Blood for money, money
Assault
Homicide
Blood for money, money
Money, money
Wanted
He drove a Maserati
Lived up in the hills, yeah
A cat with nine lives that's gone too far to feel the chill
He never though it'd happen
It was his last mistake
'Cause he was gunned down by a heartless woman's .38
Wanted
Dead or alive
Blood for money, money
Assault
Homicide
Blood for money, money
Money, money
Money, money
Mother, Father Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
She sits alone, an empty stare
A mother's face she wears
Where did she go wrong?
The fight is gone
Lord, help this broken home
[Chorus]
Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, come back, trying, believing
Hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Verse 2]
With dreams he tried, oh, lost his pride
He drinks his life away
One photograph, oh, in broken glass
It should not end this way
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Through bitter tears
And wounded years, those ties
Of blood were strong
So much to say, those yesterdays
So now don't you turn away
[Chorus]
Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, yeah, come back, trying, believing
Oh, hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Outro]
Have faith, believe
Believe
[Instrumental Outro]
Open Arms Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly, you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?
[Pre-Chorus]
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side
[Chorus]
So now, I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms
[Verse 2]
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
[Pre-Chorus]
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
[Chorus]
So now, I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms
