1. STREETS OF ROCK & ROLL

He's heard the roaring of the crowd
Now he lives on the edge of town
Once he exploded onto the scene
That guitar screamed out the melody

It seemed that somewhere
He lost the fight
That voice just faded into the night
Then came the hands of fate
Not a second too late
Said boy, you just gotta play

The lightning strikes
You know it's right
Your guitar is calling you home
Into the night
You paid the price
Your gypsy heart needs to roam

You got to get back
To the Streets Of Rock & Roll
That's where your six string guns are drawn
Yeah

It's like a fever, you got to sweat
If you're so tough you could lick 'em yet
Just take it from the top
This time you'll never stop
You know that's where you belong

The lightning strikes
You know it's right
Your guitar is calling you home
Into the night
You paid the price
Your gypsy heart needs to roam

You got to get back
To the Streets Of Rock & Roll
That's where your six string guns are drawn
You got to get back
To the Streets Of Rock & Roll
That's where your six string guns are drawn


2.HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

They tell you what you can't do
Tell you what you can't say
Don't wanna play by these rules
So I'm gonna do it anyway

If they say that you ain't strong enough
Rough enough or tough enough
Tell 'em where to shove it up
That you're never gonna give it up

Don't want to take it easy
Don't want to take it slow
I got here the hard way
And I'm never letting go

Hit The Ground Running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit The Ground Running
Don't give in without a fight

When it's down to the wire
And the crowd is going wild
Everybody's on their feet
And you won't be denied

Records are made to be broken
You can't measure your heart or your pride
You got here the hard way
And you want it all tonight

Hit The Ground Running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit The Ground Running
Don't give in without a fight

Hit The Ground Running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit The Ground Running
Don't give in without a fight


3.COME HELL OR HIGH WATER

Rolling down the highway in the dead of the night
- Head-on into a hurricane
Thunder and lightning ready to strike
- Fade first into a hard rain

I ain't wastin' no time dancing on a fault line
- Waitin' for an earthquake
Straight into the eye of the storm
- Ain't afraid of gettin' blow away

As far as I can see - We're in a state of emergency
On the edge of a tidal wave - There might be hell to pay
But nothing's gonna get in my way - Come hell Or High Water

Come hell Or High Water - Come hell Or High Water

Running from the devil just a hard as I can
- Straight into a wildfire
If it's Mt. St. Helens or just Armageddon
- The flames are gettin' higher

Tonight I'm throwing caution into the wind
- A twister full of sleet and hail
Headed for disaster? can't go any faster
- 8.8 on the Richter scale

I know that this could be - One hell of a catastrophe
We might get swept away - There might be hell to pay
But nothing's gonna get in my way

Come hell Or High Water - I'm gonna find my way to you
Come hell Or High Water - I'll do what I gotta do - Come hell Or High Water


4.PUSH & PULL

You got a secret side about you
That no one sees but me
You like to push me to the limit
And then pull me in so deep

Whenever we come face to face
I see all the love I need
But I can't keep my distance
When you turn the other cheek

Push me to the left
Pull me to the right
Pull me in close
And make it last all night
Take it all in
Nobody wins
If we don't fight it tonight

We're gonna Push & Pull
Go on and do that thing you do
Push & Pull
Makin' my wildest dreams come true

You gotta know how bad I want you
When you play so hard to get
You never back off and I won't back down
When it's you I'm up against

I got a dangerous attraction
And two wrongs make it right
We're headed on the same direction
and there's no turning back tonight

Push me to the left
Pull me to the right
Pull me in close
And make it last all night
Take it all in
Nobody wins
If we don't fight it tonight

We're gonna Push & Pull
Go on and do that thing you do
Push & Pull
Makin' my wildest dreams come true


5. DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE

There was a time
When friends were more
than people that you know
There was a place
Where we could do
what we were born to do
There was a way
that we could be
what we were meant to be
Love was alive and so were we

There's no use keeping score
In a game that never ends
Is it all worth dying for
If you never really lived

Does anybody believe
in anything anymore
Can you see inside your dreams
and wish for something more
Is there anything we want
that's still worth fighting for
Does anybody believe

Now there's a space
Where truth and beauty
one time seemed to be
Has time erased
The visions I once saw so easily
Was it destiny or fantasy

There's no use keeping score
In a game that never ends
Is it all worth dying for
If you never really lived

Does anybody believe
in anything anymore
Can you see inside your dreams
and wish for something more
Is there anything we want
that's still worth fighting for
Does anybody believe


6.NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS

Seems I've always been a loner
- But I was never alone
Wandering down this rockin' road
- Looking for home - Torn to pieces
heart broken in two
- It's been a long long lonesome time - Waiting for you

Now I lost that restless feeling
- When I found just what I need
It's a dream I can believe in
- Chains of love got a hold on me

No More Lonely Nights
- No more wasted days
I got a girl that's oh so right
- And she's got what it takes

No More Lonely Nights
- No more wasted days
I got a girl that treats me right
- And she's changing my ways

I've always been a rebel
- One foot over the edge
Looking back I know now
- What I didn't know then
It takes more than hunger
- It takes a heart of steel
To hold on without holding back
- And let my scars heal

Now I lost that reckless feeling
- When I found someone like you
It's all I've ever needed
- After all that I've been through

No More Lonely Nights
- No more wasted days
I got a girl that's oh so right
- And she's got what it takes

No More Lonely Nights
- No more wasted days
I got a girl that treats me right
- And she's changing my ways


7.THE DEVIL MAY CARE (BUT I DON'T)

Everybody's got something to fight for
Something to live and die for
Some kind of cause to defend
Another means to an end

And some don't give a damn
We just do what we can
To give as good as we get
With out blood and our sweat

To hell and back is where I've been
I don't care if I fit in
Gonna do what I choose
Win or lose

The Devil May Care
The Devil May Care
The Devil May Care - but I don't

I don't answer to no one
Don't regret the things that I've done
Yeah I got my reasons
But nowhere left to run

Don't believe in judgement day
Because I'm gonna do it my way
Let the chips fall where they may
That's all I got to easy

To hell and back is where I've been
I don't care if I fit in
Gonna do what I choose
Win or lose

The Devil May Care
The Devil May Care
The Devil May Care - but I don't

I know someday I'll pay the price
for the life I'll leave behind
But right now I'll sacrifice to take what's mine


8.LOOKIN' FOR A GOOD TIME

I've been tryin' to hold the line
Living on the edge of a dream
Now I'm ready to take what's mine
Stand up for what I believe

I'm not lazy - just a little crazy
Ain't afraid to say what I mean
Under the gun - ready to run
And you got something I need

Day in - day out
I just wanna let go

I'm lookin' for a good time
Rockin' on through the night
Rollin' on the wild side
Jacked up & ready to ride

I'm not trying to change the world
I just want to live my life
Don't want to worry about tomorrow
I gotta live it up tonight

Day in- day out
Rock on - rock out
Fist up - chest out - now

I'm lookin' for a good time
Out among the neon lights
Out here on the wild side
Revved up & ready to ride

II know I'm not killing time
Time's killing me
We may never get another second chance

Nobody's gonna live forever
That's our only guarantee
So come on baby
Take this ride with me

Revved up and lookin' for a good time
Hold on till the morning light
It's gonna be a wild ride
Just to get us through the night
Lookin' for a good time - Lookin' for a good time


9. GIMME THAT

Gimme that song that takes me home
- Gimme the music - bring it on
Gimme That

Take me back where I belong
- Give me a reason to carry on
Gimme that - aw, Gimme That

Give me a war that I can win
- Give me something to believe in
Gimme that - just Gimme That

Give me a beer that's good and cold
- Give me a love that never grows old
Gimme That

Gimme that road that leads to you
- Gimme the word? gimme the truth
Gimme That - just Gimme That

I want a cause worth fighting for
- I want a life worth dying for
Gimme that - just Gimme That, now

I want a party that lasts all night
- Give me a woman that'll treat me nice
Gimme That

Give me the time to make things right
- Give me a dream that never dies
Gimme That - yeah Gimme That

Give me a war that I can win
- Give me something to believe in
Gimme that - just Gimme That


10. HOLD STEADY

You get up at the break of dawn
Didn't sleep all night long
With the sound of death and gunfire in your ears

A world away from the ones you love
You're fighting for all of us
You put it all on the line until the smoke clears

We understand your sacrifice
Appreciate that you paid the price
And we know our freedom don't come free

You fall in - stand ready
Hang tough - Hold Steady
Stand tall - fire when ready
Do what you have to do
And Hold Steady

Wide awake in the dead of night
Locked and loaded & ready to fight
Got a picture of the girl back home
Right next to your heart

It might feel like you're all alone
But there's a nation behind you
That's holding on
Because you got the guts
To keep it from falling apart

We won't forget what you gave away
So we can live to see better days
And we know our freedom don't come free

You fall in - stand ready
Hang tough - Hold Steady
Stand tall - fire when ready
Do what you have to do
And Hold Steady


11.LIVE

I used to hope I'd die before I got old
Living in the moment
Never worried about tomorrow

I learned the hard way to just hold on
To the good times
No matter what went wrong
As long as I'm alive I got something to live for

Looking back on those reckless years
No regrets - no more tears
We got each other - and so much more

This is who I am - this is where I stand
Give it all I got - do the best I can
Gonna hold on for dear life
Just to make it through the night

I want to live - I wanna rock
Wanna chase my dreams and never stop
I just wanna hold you and never let you go
I want to live - I want to fight
And hold on to this life
Like there's no tomorrow
I want to live

Baby what we got is all I need
It don't come cheap but our hearts are free
And we take each day as it comes

I know who am I want - is all I can do
Gone to hell and back again
But I'll leave my mark when my time is done

And all I want - is all I can do
All I can be - I wanna be with you
Gonna hold on to what's right
Night after night after night after night

I want to live - I wanna rock
Wanna chase my dreams and never stop
I just wanna hold you and never let you go
I want to live - I want to fight
And hold on to this life
Like there's no tomorrow - I want to live


12. BROTHERS IN BLOOD

It's been a long time coming - I've had a good time running
But we never said goodbye

Some things are built to last - So tonight we're gonna raise a glass
To the good good times to come - And the days gone by

Brothers in Blood - Out on the streets again
Brothers in Blood - Riding the midnight wind

It's been a long rough ride - Hard luck ‹ foolish pride
But the road goes on - And some things never change

Some die - some disappear - Lost on the last frontier
And some survive - To claim what still remains

Brothers in Blood - Hearts of chrome
Brothers in Blood - Finding our way back home

Some things are made to last
Tonight we're gonna raise a glass
To the good good times to come
And the days gone by

'Cause we're Brothers in Blood
