I gave my blood and I gave my soul I stood my ground and I took control The legend's growing as the story's told Yeah, I'm satisfied Yeah, until the day I die I pledge allegiance to the state, of rock and roll I know that heaven's gonna wait Looking back

But I don’t wanna dance if I’m not dancing with you And right there where we stood was holy ground Tonight I’m gonna dance for all that we’ve been through Tonight I’m gonna dance like you were in this room I was reminiscing just the other day While

But I can't remember where or when It seems we stood and talked like this before We looked at each other in the same way then The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore The smile you are smiling you were smiling then Some things that happened

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door, Then a voice from above said- Horace wimp,this is your life, Go out and find yourself a wife, Make a stand and be a man, Well he just stood there mumblin and fumblin' Late again today, he'd be in trouble though

I said, "Oh, go Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight," yeah Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville Back up in the woods, on top of a hill There stood an old hut made of earth and wood There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode He never learned to read

No more walks in the wood The trees have all been cut down And where once they stood Not even a wagon rut appears along the path Low brush is taking over This is the aftermath Of afternoons in the clover fields Where we once made love Then wandered home

'Cause my heart said a long time ago, Buddy tuck your tail and run. 'Cause it ain't love And your stuck on the wrong end of the gun Well you put your finger on that trigger and you shot me where I stood. I found out the hard way I loved you more than I

And now we never will, never will We wrote our names along the bathroom walls Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old Time to kill Was always an illusion Time stood still I'm writing to ask you; did you

How did I ever let you go? Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame? For all of my insecurities Never understood how she could, Mean so little to so many Why does she mean everything to me? Questioning her good intention Jealousy's a bad invention When

I did the best I could Flying high in the friendly sky So stupid minded Nobody understood Without leaving the ground Rest of the folks are tired and weary And have laid their bodies down I go to the place where danger waits And its bound to forsake me
