BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - No Surrender

We busted out of class had to get away from those fools

We learned more from a three minute record than 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



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 your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards well maybe we could cut someplace of our own with these drums and these guitars



We made a promise we swore we'd always remember

no retreat, no surrender

Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend no retreat no surrender



Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim the walls of my room are closing in

There's a war outside still raging

You say it ain't ours anymore to win

I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's bed with a wide open country in my eyes and these romantic dreams in my head
