You can't run away for ever

But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start

You want to shut out the night, you wnat to shut down the sun

You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart



Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be list'ning to the radio so loud and so strong

Ev'ry golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs



I treasure your love

I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it



I treasure your love

I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars to prove it



Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true

You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,

and let the drummer tell your heart what to do



Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby



There's always something magic

There's always something new

And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through

The beat is yours for ever

The beat is always true

And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through,

for you

Once upon a time was a backbeat

Once upon a time all the chords came to life

And the angels had guitars even before they had wings

If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night



I treasure your love

I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it



I treasure your love

I want to show you how to use i
