You can
run away forever
But there's
nothing wrong
with getting
a good head start
You want to
shut out the night
You want to shut
down the sun
You want to shell away
the pieces
of a broken heart
Think of how we lay
down together
We'd be listening to the
radio so loud
and so strong
Every golden
nugget covered
like a gift of the gods
Someone must
have blessed us
when they gave
us those songs
I treasure your love,
I never wanna lose it
And you've
been through
the fires of hell
And I know you 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
When you're
alone and afraid
and you're completely
amazed
To find there's
nothing anybody
could do
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 true
The beat is yours forever
The beat is always true
And when you really,
really need it the most
That's when
rock and roll
dreams come true
for you
Once upon a time was a
backbeat
Once upon a time
all the poets came alive
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
And 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
I'm telling you again
that it's true
You're never alone
'cos you've got
blood on the phone
And let the drama
tell your heart what to do
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 true
The beat is yours forever
The beat is always true
And when you really,
really need it the most
That's when
rock and roll
dreams come true
For you....
Oh yeah
