don't - stop - believin'

that you - can't - do nothin'

get yourself second-hand guitar

and set the world on fire

any old axe will do

anything but a squire



rock city news

you gotta pay your dues

at the rock city news

if you want to sing the blues



liv-ing - on a wing - and prayer

out - on the strip - nobody cares

scabbing of the valley chick

sleeping on the practice room the floor

pretty soon the record company will be banging on your door



rock city news

you gotta pay your dues

at the rock city news

if you want to sing the blues - dave!



rock city news

you gotta pay your dues

at the rock city news

if you want to pay to lose



like drinkin' booze

you know it ain't no ruse

put on your dancing shoes

and stick an ad in the rock city news
