No Surrender

Press Play To Listen To, No Surrender - By Bruce Springsteen

No Surrender

By Bruce Springsteen

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

Now 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

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
