People pushin' like I don't know (*)
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride
They can't take it all

I've got my pride
They can't take that away
You've got your pride
They can't take that away

(Repeat *)

I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I'm gonna be free
Gonna be free

Can't take my life away (**)
They can't take my life away
Take my life away

(Repeat **)

Take my life away
Take my life away

Back's to the wall
I'm starting to fall
Make your stand, no man's land
Will nobody give me a helping hand
Put me down, wipe me out
Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
I'm goin' to the wall (Repeat)
Goin' to the wall

Friday night, I feel all right (*)
I get into my leathers
And I get out on my bike

There's thunder in my ears
It's blasting down...
Kickin' up brick
I don't give a shit
I got the wind in my hair
You know I don't even care
Stallions of the highway

Switchblade's gleamin'
Engine screamin'
I'm laughin' at fate
I'm living to hate
My needle is showing red
I'm ridin' with the dead
Get out of my way
I'm a stallion of the highway

I got the wind in my hair
I don't even care
I broke out of my shell
I'm on a daydream from hell
Don't shed no tears
I been here fifteen years

(Repeat *)

My needle is showing red
I'm ridin' with the dead
Get out of my way
I got the wind in my hair
I don't even care
Stallions of the highway
Of the highway

If you see me flashing by
Do not stop me, do not try
'Cause I'm a motorcycle man
I get my kicks just when I can

Motorcycle man
Motorcycle man

I can beat your street machine
We're taking risks, that's what we mean
'Cause I'm a motorcycle man
We get our kicks just when we can
When we can

Motorcycle man
Motorcycle...

If you see me riding by
Do not stop me, do not try
'Cause I'm a motorcycle man
I get my kicks just when I can
When I can

Motorcycle man
Motorcycle man
Motorcycle, motorcycle
Motorcycle man

I can beat your street machine
I'm taking risks, that's what I mean
'Cause I'm a motorcycle man
We get our kicks just when we can
When we can

Motorcycle man
Motorcycle man
Motorcycle, motorcycle
Motorcycle man

We ain't gonna take it lyin' down
We're gonna stand on our own two feet
When people knock us down
We're gonna get up off the ground
And start all over again

Still fit to boogie (*)
Still fit to rock and roll
Stil fit to boogie
Stil fit to rock and roll

They struggle you down when you try to get up
You can't have doubts in your mind
Take the rough with the smooth
You got nothing to lose
All you need's the will to survive

(Repeat *)

Still fit to boogie (**)
Still fit to boogie
Still fit to boogie
Still fit to rock and roll

(Repeat ** 2 times)

If you're really feelin' down
Take a trip to town
And listen to a rock and roll band
You'll be rockin' and reelin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Still fit to rock and roll, yeah
Still fit to rock and roll

We've got a 747 coming down in the night
There's no power, there's no runway lights
Radio operator try to get a message through
Tell the flight deck New York has no lights
There's no power what do we do?
747 coming down in the night
Try to get a message through

We were strangers in the night (*)
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere

This is Scandinavian one-o-one
Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun
Kennedy should be in sight
We can't see a thing here in the night
Navigator says we're on the flight path
There's no radio, no sign of life
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
For God's sake, get the ground lights on, because

(Repeat *)

There's a 747 going into the night
There's no power, they don't know why
They've no fuel, they've got to land soon
They can't land by the light of the moon
They're overshooting, there's no guiding lights
Set a course into the light
Scandinavian one-o-one
For God's sake get your ground lights on

(Repeat *)

If there's one thing I love
It's flying there above
Breaking through the barrier of sound
It's just like making love
Sittin' there above
Riding in my bird of silver steel Time after time
Ten miles high
I'm living my fantasies
At twenty thousand feet It's the rushing of my blood
That makes me feel so good
I can see the world below just shooting by
Twice the speed of sound
That's how I like to ride
My chariot of steel across the sky Time after time
Ten miles high
I'm living my fantasies
At twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet If it's faster than light
Sharper than steel
I'll race across the ceiling of the world
Just like a gun
Aiming at the sun
Riding in my bird of silver steel Time after time
Ten miles high
Living my fantasies
At twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet I'm floating in space
My troubles seems to disappear
Then I awake
Got to get my head back in place
Twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet
Twenty thousand feet

A crowded Main street, the scene was set
They check out the view, turn the radio on
Open the case, assemble the gun
Wait at the ready, for the president's run

The world was shocked that fateful day (*)
A young man's life was blown away, away
Dallas, 1 p.m., 1 p.m.

White hot lead, in the back of the head
Screaming confusion, shots rip the air
Cadillac racing, cops on the run
They couldn't believe the president's hit

The shooting's done, assassins run
Is he dead, no one will say
Around the world, the news was flashed
We sat and watched your tragic history
(Repeat *)

The world was shocked
In Dallas, 1 p.m.
We sat and watched
Tragic history

The world was shocked
In Dallas, 1 p.m.

In a giant´s step of mankind
On a distant lunar sea
As you travel cross the universe
Will you take a step
Take a step for me
Will you take a step for me

The voyage of an eagle
Blasting to the stars
You take the hopes and dreams of men
To find yourself
To find tranquillity
To find tranquillity

Speeding across the universe
And placed a lonely flag
Out there in isolation
At the final
Final frontier
At the final frontier

Celebration
As we wait for your return
You took a giant leap for mankind
On another
On another world
On another world

Take it easy
Take it slow
Don't go fast
Don't let go
The eagle has landed (Repeat 4 times)

Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will
I've got no emotions I'm living with thunder and steel
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight
I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side
What price in lights (?) can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war just sacrificed a thousand more
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, yaya

I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town
I never had me nothin'
Just people puttin' me down
Living on the dark side
Across the railroad track
Leaving wasn't easy
But I'm never going back

Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

I'm sticking in the fast lane
I never wanna quit
I'm taking all my chances
I'm gonna take 'em quick
I started at the bottom
But I'm headed to the top
Ain't nobody gonna hold me back
'Cause I'm never gonna stop

Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town
I never had me nothin'
Just people puttin' me down
I'm living on the darkside
Across the railroad track
Leaving wasn't easy
But I'm never going back

Never surrender
When you're up against the world
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

[Repeat to end]

Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
We hit the city in the morning
No time to eat or sleep
Six concerts in a week
Take the show across the nation
Could this be San Antone?
Or am I stood in Rome?
Is this real or am I dreaming?
Standing by the backstage door
Just like the one before
We're here to set the spirit free

Give us the stage (*)
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations

(Repeat *)

Wait for the curtain call
Excitement in the hall
Stage crew ready at their stations
The houselights start to dim
Another show begins
Now it's time to rocks the nations
Stand in the flashing lights
The music fills the night
This is what we've all been waiting for
We take the last encore
The first of many more
The spotlight takes the final bow

(Repeat * 4 times)

Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
Daylight comes without no warning
North, South, East and West
We'll put you to the test
As we rock across your nation

(Repeat *)

When my foot's on the throttle there's no looking back
I leave my motor ticking over when she's parked on the track
I've got a sixty eight Chevvy with pipes on the side
You know she's my idea of beauty and that's what I drive

She's got wheels, wheels of steel (*)
Talkin' 'bout my wheels of steel

I don't take no jibe from no motorway pigs
When I'm cruisin' down the freeway I don't give no lifts
If you see me comin' get out of my way
You know a Transam didn't I blew it away

(Repeat *)

You got me spinning, spinning around
Don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonight

My pulse is racing, it's out of control
My body's aching, it's taken its toll
I'm coming back to you tonight

This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain

I'm waiting, I'm waiting for the night (*)
I'm waiting, bring on the night

I can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling's stronger
Coming back to you tonight

My heart is pounding, I need you so much
My body's yearning, I long for your touch
I'm coming back to you tonight

This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain

(Repeat *)

My mind is drifting, thinking of you
The love you're sending is making it through
I'm coming back to you tonight

The summer sun's still shining bright
Can't last forever, bring on the night
I'm coming back to you tonight

This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain

(Repeat *)

I was listening to the music on the radio (*)
I had a feeling that something's not right
The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night

We pulled into a motorway restaurant
Stopped awhile, fooled around
But I still had a feeling that something's not right
'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground

Stop, get out (**)
We are the strong arm of the law
Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Into the night came a blue flashing light
A blast from the siren to make sure
But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop
Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour

He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road
He questioned us one at a time
Where is the gear that we know that you use
We said the only speed we use is on cars

(Repeat **)

You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face
It was a negative exercise
The way that we dress and the things that we do
They thought it was an easy bust
(Repeat *)
