Lyrics
LET?S LIVE FOREVER
radio waves singin? in the nighttime/noone could convince me this ain?t the right time/noone understood how we could feel the music in our souls/interstate points the way to california/somewhere in our hearts we knew when we were born/yeah, we could be immortal if only through rock and roll/c?mon now ? let?s fly together/throw all these chains away/break through the golden tether/c?mon now, hey, let?s live forever/ain?t no way gonna let these people bust me/close your eyes baby, why won?t you trust me/look into the mirror and tell me just what you have to lose/runnin? on the backstreets, racing down the highway/win or lose baby, I?m gonna do this my way/i?m blinded by the lights but i?m growin? up the way that i choose/repeat chorus/hey, hey, hey won?t you fly away with me/broke my mother?s heart she said it would destroy her/you can change your mind become a doctor or a lawyer/funny how she can?t remember not being old/packed up my guitars, told her not to cry/man i ain?t comin? home ?til i can look you in the eye/if rosie calls tell her I?m just staying busy staying gold
repeat chorus
