You can't run away forever
But there's nothin' wrong
with gettin' a good head start
You want to shut out
the night
You want to shut down
the sun
You want to shut away
the pieces
of a broken heart
Think of how we'd
laid together
We'd be listenin' to the radio
so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget comin'
like a gift from 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 ****
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 pavement and dirt
And I know you've got
the scars to prove it
Remember everythin'
that I told you
And I'm tellin' you again
that it's true
When you're alone and afraid
And you're completely amazed
to find there's nothin'
anybody can do
There's always
somethin' magic
There's always somethin' new
And when you really
need it the most
That's when rock and roll
dreams come through
The beat is yours forever
The beat is always true
And when you really
need it the most
That's when rock and roll
dreams come through
for you
Once upon a time
was the back beat
Once upon a time
all the poets came to life
And the angels had guitars
even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus
You could get
through the night
I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through
the fires of ****
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 pavement and dirt
And I know you've got
the scars to prove it
Remember everythin'
I told you
And I'm tellin' you again
it's the truth
You're never alone
'Cause you can put
on the phones
And let the drummer
tell your heart what to do
There's always
somethin' magic
There's always somethin' new
And when you really really
need it the most
That's when rock and roll
dreams come through
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 through
Oh for you
Yeah yeah
