You can't run away forever But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart 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 I treasure your love I never want to lose it You've been through the fires of hell And I know you've 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've got the scars to prove it 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 completle amazed To find there's nothing anybody can do Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby There's always something magic, There's always something new And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever The beat is always true And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through For you Once upon a time was a backbeat, Once upon a time all the chords came to life And the angels had guitars even before thay had wings If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night I treasure your love I never want to lose it You've been through the fires of hell And I know you've 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've got the scars to prove it 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 the phones And let the drummer tell your heart what to do Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby There's always something magic, There's always something new And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever The beat is always true And when you really really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through For you The beat is yours forever - - That's when rock and roll dreams come through (5x)
