1. You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut down the night, you want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
2. Think of how we'd lay down together
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
B1. I treasure your love, I never wanna lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you 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 got the scars to prove it
B2. Remember everything that I told you,
and I'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid, and you're completley amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby
R: There' always something magic, there's always something new
And when you really, really need it the most
that's when rock'n'roll dreams come true
The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock'n'roll dreams come true... for you
3. 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 on to a chorus you can get through the night
B1. I treasure your love, I never wanna lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you 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 got the scars to prove it
B2: 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 your phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
Keep on believing, and you discover baby
R: There' always something magic, there's always something new
And when you really, really need it the most
that's when rock'n'roll dreams come true
The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock'n'roll dreams come true... for you
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut down the night, you want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
