Bruce Springsteen » No Surrender Lyrics

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

No 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
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a
vow to defend, 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
