|
Well, we bursted out of class |
|
Had to get away from those fools |
|
We learned more from a three-minute record, baby |
|
Than we ever learned in school |
|
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound |
|
I can feel my heart begin to pound |
|
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes |
|
And follow your dreams down[Chorus:] |
|
Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember |
|
No retreat, baby, no surrender |
|
Like soldiers in the winter's night |
|
With a vow to defend |
|
No retreat, baby, no surrenderWell, now young faces grow sad and old |
|
And hearts of fire grow cold |
|
We swore blood brothers against the wind |
|
Now I'm ready to grow young again |
|
And hear your sister's voice calling us home |
|
Across the open yards |
|
Well maybe we'll cut someplace of own |
|
With these drums and these guitars'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember |
|
No retreat, baby, no surrender |
|
Blood brothers in the stormy night |
|
With a vow to defend |
|
No retreat, baby, no surrenderNow on the street tonight the lights grow dim |
|
The walls of my room are closing in |
|
There's a war outside still raging |
|
You say it ain't ours anymore to win |
|
I want to sleep beneath |
|
Peaceful skies in my lover's bed |
|
With a wide open country in my eyes |
|
And these romantic dreams in my headOnce we made a promise we swore we'd always remember |
|
No retreat, baby, no surrender |
|
Blood brothers in a stormy night |
|
With a vow to defend |
|
No retreat, baby, no surrenderOhhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh |
|
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh |
|
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh |
|
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh |
