We busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record
That we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you`re tired and you just want to close
Your eyes and follow your dreams down
CHORUS:
We made a promise we swore we`d always remember
No retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter`s night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I`m ready to grow young again
And hear yur sister`s voice calling us home
Acroos the open yards
Believin` we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars
CHORUS:
We made a promise we swore we`d always remember
No retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter`s night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Blood brother in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now on the street tonight the lights gro dim
The walls of my room are closing in
But it`s good to see your smiling face
And to hear your voice again
We could sleep in the twilight
By the river bed
With a wide open country in our hearts
And these romantic dreams in our heads
CHORUS:
We made a promise we swore we`d always remember
No retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter`s night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender |
