Living on a prayer          Johnny used to work on the docks, Union's been on strike He's down on his luck Its tough, so tough Gina works the diner by day. Workin' for her man, She brings home her pay for love, for love (She says) We gotta hold on to what we got It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not We got each other, and thats a lot for love... We'll give it a shot! Woah-oh We're half way there Woah-oh Livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Woah-oh Livin' on a prayer. Johnny's got his 6-string in hock, Gone are the days When he used to mak it talk So tough, so tough. (Gina sumthin sumthin sumthin) She crys in the night Johnny says it's okay.. Some day... (repeat We gotta etc...)

 

Keep the faith          Mother mother tell your children That their time has just begun I have suffered for my anger There are wars that can't be won Father father please believe me I am laying down my guns I am broken like an arrow Forgive me Forgive your wayward son Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, mother) Everybody needs somebody to hate (please believe me) Everybody's bitching 'cause the times are tough And it's hard to hold on When there's no one to lean on Chorus: Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain You've got to keep the faith Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate You got to keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith Tell me baby when I hurt you Do you keep it all inside Do you tell me all's forgiven And just hide behind your pride Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, father) Everybody needs somebody to hate (please don't leave me) Everybody's bitching 'cause the times are tough Well it's hard to be strong When there's no one to dream on Chorus I've been walking in the footsteps Of society's lies I don't like what I see no more Sometimes I wish that I was blind Sometimes I wait forever To stand out in the rain So no one sees me cryin' When I wash away the pain Mother father There's things I've done I can't erase Every night we fall from grace It's hard with the world in your face Trying to hold on, trying to hold on Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain You got to keep the faith Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate Right now we got to keep the faith Faith: now it's not too late Try to hold on, trying to hold on Keep the faith (repeat We gotta etc...)

Always           This Romeo is bleeding But you can't see his blood It's nothing but some feelings On his old guitar It's been raining since you left me Now I'm drowing in the flood You see I've always been a fighter But without you, I give up I can sing a love song Like the way it's meant to be Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore But, baby, that's just me Yeah, I will love you, baby Always... And I'll be there forever and a day Always... I'll be there Till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst And the words don't rhyme I know when I die You'll be on my mind And I'll love you always Now your picture's there You left behind, oh, just memories From a different life Some that made us laugh Some that made us cry Why'd they make you Have to say goodbye ? What I'd give to run my fingers Through your hair Touch your lips To hold you near When you say your prayers Try to understand I've made mistakes I'm just a man When he holds you close When he pulls you near When he says the words You've been needing to hear  I wish I was him That those words were mine To sabe till the end of time And I will love you, baby Always... And I'll be there forever and a day Always... If you told me, I'd cry for you I couldn't If you told me, I'd die for you I would Take a look at my face There's no price I won't pay To say these words For you Well, there ain't no love In this lonely times But, baby, if you give me Just one more try We can pack up our dreams And our old lives We'll find a place Where the stars still shine Yeah, I will love you, baby Always... And I'll be there forever and a day Always...

Wanted dead or alive          It's all the same, only the names will change Everyday it seems we're wasting away Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home [Chorus:] I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive I'm a cowboy Wanted dead or alive Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days And the people I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone all you do is think [Chorus] I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side I'm wanted dead or alive And I ride, dead or alive I still drive, dead or alive Dead or alive [x4]

You give love a bad name An angels smile is what you sell You promise me heaven, then put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passions a prison, you cant break free Youre a loaded gun Theres nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done Chorus: Shot through the heart And youre to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name You give love a bad name Paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boys dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye Youre a loaded gun Theres nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done Chorus

Bed Of Roses Sitting here wasted and wounded At this old piano Trying hard to capture The moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka Is still lodged in my head And some blonde gave me nightmares I think that she's still in my bed As I dream about movies They won't make of me when I'm dead With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning While some marching band keeps Its own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love and the truth and What you mean to me And the truth is baby you're all that I need I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses Well I'm so far away That each step that I take is on my way home A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night Just to see through this payphone Still I run out of time Or it's hard to get through Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I'll just close my eyes and whisper, Baby blind love is true I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked And she's giving me the eye I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died Now as you close your eyes Know I'll be thinking about you While my mistress she calls me To stand in her spotlight again Tonite I won't be alone But you know that don't Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove For it's you that I'd die to defend I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses

Blaze Of Glory I wake up in the morning And I raise my weary head I got an old coat for a pillow And the earth was last night's bed I don't know where I'm going Only God knows where I've been I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind When you're brought into this world They say you're born in sin Well at least they gave me something I didn't have to steal or have to win Well they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah I'm a wanted man I'm colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can I'm going down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm no one's son Call me young gun You ask about my consience And I offer you my soul You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man Well I ask if I'll grow old You ask me if I known love And what it's like to sing songs in the rain Well,I've seen love come And I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth 'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm the devil's son Call me young gun Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep No I ain't looking for forgiveness But before I'm six foot deep Lord,I got to ask a favor And I'll hope you'll understand 'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let the boy die like a man Staring down the bullet Let me make my final stand Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going out in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood and I'm no one's son Call me young gun I'm a young gun

I'll be there for you I guess this time you're really leaving I heard your suitcase say goodbye And as my broken heart lies bleeding You say true love is suicide You say you're cried a thousand rivers And now you're swimming for the shore You left me drowning in my tears And you won't save me anymore Now I'm praying to God you'll Give me one more chance, girl I'll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to Be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what a love can do I'll be there for you I know you know we've Had some good times How they have their own hiding place I can promise you tomorrow But I can't buy back yesterday And Baby you know my hands are dirty But I wanted to be your valentine I'll be the water when you get thirsty When you get drunk, I'll be the wine I'll be there for you These five words I'd swear to you When you breathe I want to Be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what a love can do I'll be there for you And I wasn't there when You were happy I wasn't there when you were down I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out I'll be there for you These five words I'd swear to you When you breathe I want to be The air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what a love can do I'll be there for you

In and out of love Young and wired Set to explode in the heat You wont tire Cause baby was born with the beat Take you higher than youve ever known Then drive you down to your knees Ill pick you up when youve had enough You been burned baby lessons learned Chorus: In and out of love Hear what Im sayin In and out of love Its the way that were playing In and out of love Too much is never enough Shes gonna get ya Running wild When me and my boys hit the streets Right on time Shes here to make my night complete Then Im long gone I got another show One more town, one mile to go One endless night of fantasy Is all she left of her with me Chorus

Runaway On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives They’re made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes All your life all you’ve asked when your daddy gonna talk to you You were living in another world tryin’ to get your message through. No one heard a single word you said. They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your heart. Chorus: Ooh, she’s a little runaway. Daddy’s girl learned fast All those things he couldn’t say. Ooh, she’s a little runaway. A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time So you sit home alone cause there’s nothing left that you can do There’s only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon broadway signs She don’t really mind, its only love she hoped to find Repeat chorus No one heard a single word she said They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your heart Ooh, she’s a little runaway Daddy’s girl learned fast All those things he couldn’t say Ooh, she’s a little runaway Daddy’s girl learned fast Now she works the night away Ooh, she’s a little runaway Daddy’s girl learned fast All those things he couldn’t say Ooh, she’s a little runaway Daddy’s girl learned fast Now she was the night away

Never Say Goodbye As I sit in this smokey room The night about to end I pass my time with strangers But this bottle's my only friend Remember when we used to park On Butler Street out in the dark Remember when we lost the keys And you lost more than that in my backseat Remember how we used to talk About busting out - we'd break their hearts Together - forever Never say goodbye, never say goodbye You and me and my old friends Hoping it would never end Never say goodbye, never say goodbye Holdin' on - we got to try Holdin' on to never say goodbye Remember days of skipping school Racing cars and being cool With a six pack and the radio We didn't need no place to go Remember at the prom that night You and me we had a fight But the band they played our favorite song And I held you in my arms so strong We danced so close We danced so slow And I swore I'd never let you go Together - forever Never say goodbye, never say goodbye You and me and my old friends Hoping it would never end Never say goodbye, never say goodbye Holdin' on - we got to try Holdin' on to never say goodbye I guess you'd say we used to talk About busting out We'd break their hearts Together - forever
