I can't run, can't turn away now

it's all the same, nothing ever changes

the long days, the ten cent raises

a few bucks in my pocket

gotta go a long way

22, got my whole life ahead of me

but still, lettin' life get the best of me

gotta stop, and just

leave it up to destiny now

I don't know how much more of this

I can handle

to those who wait

I can't run, can't turn away now

4 years, I've been out of high school

forget college, thinking I was so cool

but no regrets, gotta do what you gotta do

my heart, it's in love with the rock'n'roll

and playing music is all that I really know

you know love

it's the only thing you can't control

can't stop believing

no matter how long it takes

it might kill me to keep on dreaming

but I'd rather die than throw it away

I don't know how much more of this

I can handle

to those who wait

to those who don't give up

I can't run, can't turn away now
