You can`t run away for ever
But there`s nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night, you wnat 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 list`ning to the radio so loud and so strong
Ev`ry golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs


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
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


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 for ever
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


(instrumental bridge)


Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night


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
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


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 for ever
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!


(The beat is yours for ever. That`s when rock and roll dreams come through)
