Danny was a boy with a teenage dream

Now he's hanging with the dudes

In a real mean team

Burning up his fuel at a tender age

When reality hit him like a slap in the face

Now he's always on the run

He's gotta fight gotta be strong



Where the tough gets going

Where the wild ones meet

Where the odds are low

And the talk is cheap

There's a cold wind blowing

Out on every street

Where the violence grows

Where the blood runs deep



Danny got caught at the scene of the crime

With a gun in his hand and a bloodstained alibi

Now he's doing his time down at Motel Hell

Looking out at the world from a stone cold prison cell

He's gotta hold his head up high

He's gotta struggle to stay alive

To survive



Chorus



He was hung up

Strung up for all his life

See the look in his eyes

The flick of the knife

Got off the rails

Sent to jail

Everybody's got their price

In life to pay



Chorus
