You can't 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 shut away the pieces of a broken heart



Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong

Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs



[1]:

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

When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed

To find there's nothing anybody can do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby



Chorus:

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 forever, 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



(Solo)



Once upon a time was a backbeat, once upon a time all the chords cameto

life

And the angels had guitars even before they had wings

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



[1]



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



chorus



The beat is yours forever - that's when rock and roll dreams come through
