Don't stop believin' |
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
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
[Instrumental Interlude]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people

Stone in love |
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
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road track
Took me home, we danced by moonlight
Those summer nights are callin',
stone in love
Can't help myself I'm fallin'
stone in love
Old dusty roads, led to the river
Runnin' slow
She pulled me down, and in clover
We'd go 'round
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
Oo the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever.
CHORUS

Who's crying now |
It's been a mystery
Still they try to see
Why something good
Can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street
The taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, someway
(Chorus)
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
Wonder who's cryin' now
So many stormy nights
So many wrong or rights
Neither could change
Their headstrong ways
In a lover's rage
They tore another page
The fighting is worth
The love they save
(Chorus)
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
Wonder who's cryin' now
Only so many tears
You can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say
Your love will never die
Whooaa Oooh Whoooaa
(Chorus)
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
Wonder who's cryin' now

Keep on runnin' |
Workin' in the city
This town's got no pity
Boss man owns a heart of stone
I'm on the line
It's overtime
I tell you it's a crime
They get me by the hour
By my blue collar
Ooh 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')
Heep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay, it's all right
It's okay, it's all right
Okay and if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead
Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Heep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay
Crusin' with my baby
Think we just might maybe
Find some back seat rhythm and blues
The radio
Down we go
Ooh baby down we go
Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Heep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay, it's all right
It's okay, it's all right
Okay and if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead
Keep on runnin' (keep on runnin')
Heep on hidin' (keep on hidin')
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay

Still they ride |
Jesse rides through the night
Under the Main Street light
Ridin' slow
This ol' town, ain't the same
Now nobody knows his name
Times have changed, still he rides.
Traffic lights, keepin' time
Leading the wild and restless
through the night
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder
Spinning 'round, in a spell
It's hard to leave this carrousel
'Round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
(chorus)

Escape |
He's just a young boy out of school
Livin' his world like he wants to
They're makin' laws, but they don't understand
Turns a boy in to a fightin' 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 tellin' you that he's nobody's fool
They won't take me
They won't break me
Now he's leavin', gettin' out from this masquerade
Oh gotta go
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
Leavin' 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 ya
Oh I'm okay, I'm alright
Feelin' good out on your own
I'll break away, I'll break away tonight
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way
I'm leaving', leavin' 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 |
Looking 'round for a feelin'
I love the 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 started singing
Rock the night away
By the midnight hour
They could've raised the dead
They were takin' it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down (lay it)
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down
Whisky, wine, and women
They get me though the night
I ain't lookin' for trouble
I ain't lookin' to fight
A little vertical persuasion
Would do me right
I'm really needin'
A double shot tonight
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was takin' it higher
Oh higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down (lay, lay it)
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was takin' it higher
Ooh higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say
Whoa, ooh, yeah baby
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down (lay it)
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down (lay it)
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down (lay it)
Lay it down (lay it down)
Lay it down, yeah

Dead or alive |
A 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
Wanted dead or alive
Blood for money, money
Assault, homicide
Blood for money, money
Money, money
Oh, yeah, 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 |
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, tryin', believein'
Hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you
I'm your sevenths son
And when lightin' strikes the family
Have faith, believe.
With dreams he tried, lost his pride
He drinks his life away
One photograph, in broken glass
It should not end this way.
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.
REPEAT CHORUS

Open arms |
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heart with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side
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
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
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

La Raza Del Sol |
Bonus track |
'Born on the east side
In the barrio badlands
Juan Cortez walks the streets
He's a proud man
He loves a girl
With eyes that sparkle like diamonds
Troubled world
Makes him fight for his woman
La raza
From the south blows the wind of la raza
The legends all told
Follow the sun to the great river valley
La raza del sol
Bold & strong
Find a life 'cross the border
It ain't easy hassling with law & order
In the soul stands the strength of the family
Holding on with the spirit and glory
La raza
From the south blows the wind of la raza
The legends all told
Follow the sun to the great river valley
