I woke up from a bad dream
To the howling of a lonely night.
But the walls come closing in
Like the victim of a one-way fight.
I don't remember many yesterdays,
I left a lot of things undone,
Now I'm back and i'm here to say
I'm looking after number one.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.

Seeing people on the freeway,
Takes me back to where I started from.
I was riding on the big wheel,
I was walking in a midnight sun.
Well, I did a lot of favours then,
I asked for nothing in return.
Now those friends have all disappeared,
I guess there's still so much to learn.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go.
'Cause you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun.

Well, I said it don't come easy.
Well, I sure know how it feels.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go.
'Cause you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go.

We didn't have the time to think things over,
We had a lot of fun, we had some tears.
Stepping out of loneliness,
Now the road don't seem so long,
After all these years.

Rock and roll has got a reputation,
Bad boys cause a lot of fear.
But i never meant to really hurt you, oh no, no,
After all these years.

Travelling the world in a rock and roll band,
It's in my blood, it's in my blood.
Ooh, but you know, it's good to be back home.
Dancing with your sister on a saturday night,
It's understood, it's understood.
When ev'ry boy and girl,
Ooh, was rocking all over the world.

After all these years.

Travelling the world in a rock and roll band,
It's in my blood, it's in my blood.

We had a lot of fun, we had some tears.
Stepping out of loneliness,
Now the road don't seem so long, long, long, long, long,
After all these years,
After all these years,
After all these years,
After all these years.

Outside there's a runaway,
The lights go down, the world goes rushing in.
Neon light takes the light of day,
Stars like dust start falling.

Inside there's a loneliness,
The demon tries to charm you with his smile.
No time to dream or rest,
In the caves of steel, faces are changing.

They're the runaways,
They're the runaways,
Children of the damned.
They're the runaways,
Running for their life, faster than they can.
They're the runaways.

On the street the traffic dies,
The break of day, it always comes too soon.
Running out of reasons why
All your life you blamed it on the moon.

Look out for the danger signs,
You're stealing time but you know you'll never win.
Another border line,
In the caves of steel, faces are changing.

They're the runaways,
Children of the night.
They're the runaways,
Running for your life, faster than you can.
They're the runaways, run, run, runaways.

Nightmares chase the dreams away,
The cold night reflects the way you feel.
It's just another town,
It's just one more night to kill.

All the streets are empty now,
Like the wolf, you walk this night alone.
And in some other world,
In the caves of steel, faces are changing.

They're the runaways, (they're the runaways)
(Run, run, run)

They're the runaways, (they're they runaways)

Children of the night.
They're the runaways, (run, run, run, run away)

Running for your life, faster than you can.
They're the runaways. (run, run, run, run away)

Children of the damned.
They're the runaways, (they're the runaways)

Running for your life, (faster than they can)

They're the runaways. (run, run, runaways)

They're the runaways, (they're the runaways)
(Children of the night)

They're the runaways. (they're the runaways)
(Running for their life, faster than they can)
(They're the runaways)
(Run, run, run, run away)

Run.
