Jimmy quit the band
Says there's no time for us anymore
Turned to a family man
Something we've chosen to ignore

Somehow we're on the brink now
You might not think so
If you weren't the type to know ...

Another city
Another sold out show ...
 

No more playin' in smokey bars
No more drivin' shitbox cars
We've landed our first contract - we're on the go ...

Well, the lights turn down
Then this strange town
Turns familiar, it seems ...

We're never alone - out here on the road of dreams ...
 

Don't blame life on us
It's not our fault, anyhow
Yes - we followed the path
Of this sacred cow

It's not always by choice
Sometimes a pleading voice
Far inside our head calls out ...

Dictates what we're all about ...
 

No more playin' in smokey bars
No more drivin' shitbox cars
We've landed our first contract - we're on the go ...

Well, the lights turn down
Then this strange town
Turns familiar, it seems ...

We're never alone - out here on the road of dreams ...
 

I could see disaster - spelled in your eyes
Came up on me suddenly - but nothing you could do was a surprise
Never could I let you ruin what we have
Who are you to step in - with intent so bad?
Never will you take any others away
Who and what you want are mine - they're here to stay
What you need - what you do - who you want - I could never trust
They'll be mine 'til all time crumbles into dust ...
