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
