Never Say Die

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As we stood there older than the men And younger than the boys (That's right) We were as still as the wind That blows on a hot August night And you were lonesome as a jukebox But deadly just the same I could be as gentle as a newborn Then spit into the eye of a hurricane [Pre-Chorus] And we knew how to laugh And we knew how to cry Yeah, we sure knew how to live But we don't never, never say [Chorus] Never say die [Verse 2] I guess you'd say we had a pact These words we knew so well (That's right) Still they remained unspoken And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell [Pre-Chorus] Once I was afraid of love But when it's your brother, those things change 'Cause love is just another word for trust So hear me when I say [Chorus] Never say die Never say no You gotta look them in the eye and don't let go When it's your own blood you'll bleed And your own tears you'll cry When you're brought up to believe That it's the strong who survive Never say die [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Yeah, we could run like lightnin' (We could run like lightnin') Through the pourin' rain (Through the rain) And we'll be standin' like a soldier Who comes marchin' home again [Instrumental Break] One, two, three, four [Verse 3] They ask what it is that I want written (They ask what it is that I want written) On the gravestone where I'll lie (Gravestone where I'll lie) Tell 'em it's just my bones that died there (Tell 'em it's just my bones that died there) So save the tears they'll cry (So save those tears) [Pre-Chorus] My spirit is still ridin' Somewheres in this night And it's these three words that come to me As I kiss this world goodbye [Chorus] Never say die Never say no You gotta look them in the eye and don't let go When it's your own blood you'll bleed And your own tears you'll cry When you're brought up to believe That it's the strong who survive Never say die Never say die (That's right)
