Don't stop believin'
Stone in love
Who's crying now
Keep on runnin'
Still they ride
Escape
Lay it down
Dead or alive
Mother, father
Open arms
La Raza Del Sol
Don't Stop Believin'
Who's Crying Now
Open Arms
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
La raza del sol

Don't Stop Believin'

Bonus track (Live In Houstion 11/6/1981)

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
