Bon Jovi Greatest Hits

Bon jovi  Bon Jovi Greatest Hits  Lyrics
1.Livin' On A Prayer

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her pay for love - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

*Whooah, we're half way there
Living on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Living on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot *

We've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight
When it's all that you've got


2.You Give Love A Bad Name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

You give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name


3.It's My Life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said 'I did it my way'
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
You've got to make your owns breaks

It's my life
And It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live when I'm alive(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said 'I did it my way'
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend don't break, baby don't back down

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live when I'm alive(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said 'I did it my way'
I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live when I'm alive(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said 'I did it my way'
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!


4.Have A Nice Day

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you help me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived the lie, it's just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away.

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I aint gonna do what I don't want to,
Im gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day

Take a look around you, nothing's what it seems.
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody, brave enough to take a stand,
I knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
and what's left to believe

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I aint gonna do what I don't want to,
Im gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.

Guitar Solo

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I aint gonna do what I don't want to,
Im gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down,
Ive gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground.
Well I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day


5.Wanted Dead Or Alive

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I drive all night just to get back to home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
The times when you're all alone all you do is think

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted(wanted) dead or alive
Wanted(wanted) dead or alive

Oh and I ride!

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted(wanted) dead or alive

And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted(wanted) dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted(wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive


6.Bad Medicine

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease

Bad medicine

I ain't got a fever
Got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor
To prescribe a remedy

I got lots of money
But it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot
To get this poison out of me

I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3

First you need
(That's what you get for fallin in love)
Then you bleed
(You get a little but it's never enough)
On your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
Now this boys addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug!

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease

Bad
Bad medicine

I don't need no needle
To be GIVING me a thrill'n
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill

I got a dirty down addition
It doesn't leave a track
I got a JONES for your affection
Like a monkey on my back

There ain't no paramedic
Gonna save this heart attack

When you need
(That's what you get for falling in love)
Then you bleed
(You get a little but it's never enough)
On your knees
(That's what you get for falling in love)
Now this boys addicted because your kiss is the drug!

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby
Cure my disease

Bad
Bad medicine
Is what I want
Bad
Bad medicine
Is what I need

I need a respirator 'cause
I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator
Wrapped in stockings and a dress

When you find your medicine
You take what you can get
Cause if there's something better baby
Well they haven't found it yet

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Your love,

Your love is like bad medicine,
Bad medicine is what all I need
Oh oh oh, shake it up, just like bad medicine
You got a doctor that can cure my disease

Your love!
Bad medicine


7.We Weren't Born To Follow

This one goes out to the man who minds the miracles
This one goes out the ones in need
This one goes out the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when the call your name?

Yea, Yea, Yea,
We Weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that's a saints and sinners pleas
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, ooooohhh,, Yea

This ones about anyone who does it differently
This ones about the one who cusses and spits
This ain't about our living in a fantasy
This ain't about giving up or giving in

Yea, Yea, Yea,
We Weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that's a saints and sinners pleas
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, ooooohhh,, Yea

Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, oooohhhhh, Yea

Yea, Yea, Yea,
We Weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that's a saints and sinners pleas
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say
Yea, Yea, Yea, ooooohhh,, Yea


8.I'll Be There For You

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you


9.Born To Be My Baby

Rainy night and worked all day
we both got jobs cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
we got something that'll never die
our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum(all night)
flesh to flesh, one to one(and it's alright)
and I'll never let go there's
something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
even if we don't know where we stand
only God would know the reasons
but I bet he must have had a plan
cause you were born to be my baby
and baby, I was made to be your man

you were born to be my baby
and baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's ok
our time, our way

So hold me close better hang on tight
buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
our world, our flight

If we stand side by side(all night)
there's a chance we'll get by(and it's alright)
and I'll know that you'll live
in my heart till the day I die

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
even if we don't know where we stand
only God would know the reasons
but I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
and baby, I was made to be your man

Solo

And my heart beats like a drum(all night)
flesh to flesh, one to one(and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
there's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
and baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
even if we don't know where we stand
only God would know the reasons
but I bet he must have had a plan


You were born to be my baby
and baby, I was made to be your man

You were born to be my baby
and baby, I was made to be your man.


10.Bed Of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
and some blonde gave me nightmares, i think that she's still in
my bed
as I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.

With an ironclad fist, I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while
we're talking
about all of the things that I long to believe,
about love, the truth, what you mean to me
and the truth is, baby you're all that I need.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
i want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is,
and lay you down on a bed of roses.

Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take is on my way home
a king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
to see through this payphone
still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
i'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
i want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is,
and lay you down on a bed of roses.

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
and she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
but I laughed so hard I think I died.

now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you
while my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
tonight, I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not
lonely
i've got nothing to prove
for it's you that I'd die to defend.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
i want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is,
and lay you down on a bed of roses.


11.Who Says You Can't Go Home

I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold

I been there, done that
But I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown
Saving dimes spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back
I've been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright

I went as far as I could, I treid to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I've lived a million miles of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy
But not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back
I've been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home

It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away or just a mile up the road
Take it in, Take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back
Been all around the world and as a metter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go

Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
Who says you can't go home

13.Always

This romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood
Its nothing but some feelings, that this old dog kicked up
Its been raining since you left me, now I'm drowning in the
flood
You see I've always been a fighter, but without you, I give up

Now I can't sing a love song, like the way its meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, thats just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there, forever and a day - Always

I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
Touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I wish I was him, that those words were mine
To say to you till the end of time

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there, forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face, there's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there aint no luck, in this loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

Yeah and I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there, forever and a day - Always

I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you - Always
Always ...


14.In These Arms

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire, yeah
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight

Baby I want you like the roses
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my life
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world would never blind us
These were our words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
And I'd still believe
If you were in these arms

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

Your clothes are still scattered
All over our room
This old place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing I wouldn't do

And these were our words
They keep me strong
Baby!

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
Baby!
Like the roses need the rain
Like the seasons need to change
Like a poet needs the pain
I need you, In these arms tonight


15.What Do You Got ?

Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're makin a living, and what we're livin for
A rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But you don't mean one damn thing

What do you got, if you aint got love
Whatever you got, it just aint enough
Youre walkin the road, but youre goin no where
Youre tryin to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You have all the things, that you've been dreamin' of

If you ain't got someone, you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one, someone... to tell them the truth
Maybe i'm a dreamer, but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe the change can get us up off our
knees

If you ain't got love, its all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doing it for

I don't wanna have to talk about it,
How many songs you gotta sing about it
How long you gonna live without it
Why does some somewhere have to doubt it,
Someday you'll figure it out

If you ain't got love, its all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doin' it for
Woahhh, I ain't got, if you ain't got
What do you got if you ain't got love
What do you got if you ain't got love


16.No Apologies

No Apology(No Apology)
We will not back down(No Apology)
We are not afraid(No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt

Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train-track kid
Fighting for survival
Trying not to do like his daddy did
Double down the devil at three, caught morning
No apology, he just knew when to quit
Push your luck, say your prayers
Make believe you don't care
Take a chance, sometimes it's all you need

(No Apology)
No Apology(No Apology)
We will not back down(No Apology)
We are not afraid(No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt(No Apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies
No Apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution
Think of living somebody else's life
You can lie about retribution
But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes
Seems like everybody's selling you dreams 'round here
But no one's buying and it's closing time
Light the fuse, make your break, there's no time left to waste
Baby just like freedom, nothin's free

(No Apology)
No Apology(No Apology)
We will not back down(No Apology)
We are not afraid(No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt(No Apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution
What else you gotta do tonight

(No Apology)
No Apology(No Apology)
We will not back down(No Apology)
We are not afraid(No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt(No Apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies
(No Apology)
No Apology
(No Apology)
No Apology
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies


17.Runaway

On the streets where you live girls talk about their social
lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life, all your life,
all you've asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you
she was living in an other world
Tryin' to get her message through

No-one heard a single word you said
they should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway

A different line every night, guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Combing for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can
do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you

You know she likes the lights at night on the neon Broadway
signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hopes to find

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway

No-one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say

Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away


18.Someday I'll Be Saturday Night

Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night

Hey, My name is Jim
Where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement
All the good shit's gone
Just can't hold a job
Where do I belong?
Been sleepin' in my car
My dreams moved on

My name is Billy G.
My love is bought and sold
I'm only 16
I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went
Took my innocence away
The street life ain't much beter
But at least I'm getting paid

Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worsr than yesterday
Thursdays, Friday, ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive

Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces
And what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night

Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet
I'll be doing alright
It may not be tomorrow
Baby, that's ok
I ain't going down
I'm gonna find a way

Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night


19.Lost Highway

In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive(drive drive)
Watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard jesus
Waiting there to greet us

Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey, hey hey

Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive(drive drive)
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus

Hey Hey
Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Hell, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
hey, hey

Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you've got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go

I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
When I'm out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey


20.I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Couse I don't rest in peace
Don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no

I won't lie to you
I never gonna cry to you
I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week

Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So you're looking for some action
I got everything you need
Better keep your motor running
'Cose I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party
Got no time for catching z's
If they say that that ain't healthy
Well then living a disease

We're never going to die baby
Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's eve

Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead

Guitar solo

Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cose I don't rest in peace
I was born to live
You know I wasn't born to die
But if the party down in heaven
I'll be sure to be on time

Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I feel like I'm exploding
Going out of my head
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till I'm 6 foot under
And they lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive
Sleep when I'm dead


21.In And Out Of Love

Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned

In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya.

Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone
I got another show
There's one more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Was all she left of her with me

In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playin
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
We're gonna get you.
In and out of love...


22.Keep The Faith

Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won

Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son

Everybody needs somebody to love(mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate(please believe me)
Everybody's bitching 'cause they can't get enough
When it's hard to hold on
And there's no one to lean on

Faith!: You know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord we've gotta keep the faith
Faith!: Don't you let your love turn to hate
Now we've gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we've gotta keep the faith

Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me 'all's forgiven'
Just hide behind your pride

Yeahyeah!

Everybody needs somebody to love(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding 'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on

Faith!: You know you're gonna live trough the rain
Lord we've gotta keep the faith
Faith!: Don't you know it's never too late
Right now we gotta keep the faith
Faith!: Don't you let your love turn to hate
Lord we gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith
Oh we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith

Oh Oh Yeahyeahyeah!

(Guitar Solo)

I've been walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what i see no more
Sometimes i wish i was blind
Sometimes i wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away this pain

Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith!: you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith!: don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on yeah
Keep the faith
keep the faith
Everybody keep the faith!


23.When We Were Beautiful

The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I'm hanging in
You're holding on

I can't pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made

BackWhen we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it

Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la

Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive

Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were

BackWhen we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it


The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more

BackWhen we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it

BackWhen we were beautiful
BackWhen we were beautiful
BackWhen we were beautiful
BackWhen we were beautiful

Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la


24.Blaze Of Glory

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can

I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun

You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun

Solo
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord,I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun


25.This Ain't A Love Song

Yo no vi las flores marchitar,
ni ese frio en tus ojos al mirar,
no,no vi la realidad
me ibas a dejar.

Dicen que la vida baby no es como la ves,
para aprender hay que caer,
para ganar hay que perder,
lo di todo por ti.

Llore y llore y jure que no iba a perderte,
trate y trate de negar este amor tantas veces, baby

Si mis lagrimas fueron en vano,
si al final yo te ame demasiado,
como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado.

Cada hora, una eternidad,
cada amanecer, un comenzar;
ilusiones nada mas,
que facil fue sonar.

Tantas noches de intimidad
parecian no acabar;
nos dejamos desafiar
y hoy nada es igual.

Se que en verdad el amor al final siempre duele,
no lo pude salvar y hoy voy a pagarlo con creces, baby

Si mis lagrimas fueron en vano,
si al final yo te ame demasiado,
como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado.

Esta vez la pasion ha ganado
y por eso sigo esperando,
como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado.

Llore y llore y jure que no iba a perderte,
trate y trate de negar este amor tantas veces, baby

Si mis lagrimas fueron en vano,
si al final yo te ame demasiado,
como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado.

Esta vez la pasion ha ganado
y por eso sigo esperando,
como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado.

Como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado...


26.These Days

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna be's
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

These days the stars seem out of reach
These days there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't anybody left but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His mamma said he was crazy he said mamma 'I've got to try'
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away

These days the stars seem out of reach
But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't anybody left but but us these days

I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These days

These days the stars seem out of reach
But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't anybody left but but us these days

These days the stars seem out of reach
These days there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't anybody left to take the blame
And there ain't anybody left but but us these days
There ain't anybody left but but us these days


27.You Want To Make A Memory

Hello again...It's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin wine .... killin time
Tryin to solve life's mysteries...
How's your life? It's been a while
God, it's good to see you smile
I see you reachin for your keys
Lookin for a reason not to leave

If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe...
There's nowhere else tonight we should be...
You wanna make a memory....

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all the hair we had
It's bitter sweet to hear you laugh
Your phone was ringing. I don't wanna ask

If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I got a plan
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?

If you don't know if you should stay and
You don't say what's on your mind, baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be(we should be...we
should be)
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna make a memory?
Oooooooooo...OOooooooooooo.....OOoooooooooo....


28.Blood On Blood

I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand

But we were so young(so young)
One for all and all for one(for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he had a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me

Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men

We were so young(so young)
One for all and all for one(for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Solo

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicine man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band

Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

Blood on blood, blood on blood

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Blood on blood


29.This Is Love This Is Life

These days what's left of me ain't no Prince Charming
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long
We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters
We're pickin' up the pieces, tryin' to put 'em back where they
belong

Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

These days it seems like there's three sides to every story
There's yours, mine, lately there's the cold hard truth
Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights?
We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight
It ain't pretty but somehow we always make it through

Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
This is love, this is life
This is love, this is life


30.The More Things Change

Lyricist:Bon Jovi
Writer(s):Bon Jovi

The more things change the more the stay the same
The more things change the more the stay the same

Ah, is it just me or does anybody see
The new improved tomorrow isn't what it used to be
Yesterday keeps comin' 'round, it's just reality
It's the same damn song with a different melody

The market keeps on crashin'
Tattered jeans are back in fashion
'Stead of records, now it's MP3s
I tell you one more time with feeling
Even though this world is reeling
You're still you and I'm still me
I didn't mean to cause a scene
But I guess it's time to roll up our sleeves

The more things change the more they stay the same
The same sunrise, it's just another day
If you hang in long enough they say you're comin' back
Just take a look, we're living proof and baby that's a fact
You know the more things change the more they stay the same
The more things change the more they stay the same

You're either runnin' round in circles or you're runnin' out of
time
Everybody somewhere either 12, 3, 6 or 9
The times they are a-changin'
We're here to turn the page
It's the same old story but it's told a different way

The more things change the more they stay the same
The same sunrise, it's just another day
If you hang in long enough they say you're comin' back
Just take a look, we're living proof and baby that's a fact
You know the more things change the more they stay the same
Never and forever just keep comin' back again
Don't hold out for tomorrow or hold onto yesterday
The more things change the more they stay the same

The more things change the more they stay the same
The more things change the more they stay the same

SOLO

Here comes a na na na na na na na
These days it's the raise the roof instead of sha la la
Here come the rockers, the dancers and the remixed drum machine
This one is for the CEOs and record companies
And if you're waitin' on a happy ending
We're gonna hit the hook one more time

The more things change the more they stay the same
The more things change the more they stay the same
The more things change the more they stay the same
The more things change the more they stay the same

You know the more things change the more they stay the same
The same sunrise, it's just another day
If you hang in long enough they say you're comin' back
Just take a look, we're living proof and baby that's a fact
You know the more things change the more they stay the same
Never and forever just keep comin' back again
Don't hold out for tomorrow or hold onto yesterday
The more things change the more they stay the same

Whoa oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
