The Streets Tonight
We packed up all our things, packed them tightly in the car
We ran around the house collecting
The memories and my guitar
Forced to lead a new life, far away from all of this
I hold your hand so damn tight, as you lean in to give a kiss
To your old life that's gone, as I turn the engine on
Pull her slow out of park and drive down the boulevard
Pass the streets of endless dreams and lies filled with their own deceit
The only thing I care about now, is getting far away from this
Start a new life with you, the one I had to fight and always chase
Chase till the end of my breaking point
But In the end I know it will all, it will work out Ok
Only waiting for the sunset to bring about
Bring about another day, as we're
On the streets tonight
On the streets tonight
Were we'll see that shinning light
On our own, on our own
Out on the streets tonight

As you sleep on through, and the miles tally up
I look over at you, and watch your smile come about
We've had a long journey, and still one ahead of us now
I don't care about the time, we can go until I know how
How will it all end, is something that can't answered now
But I do know this much and buried deep inside my chest
Is that we've come along way from the past that held down
And we wont stop until we find it all now while we're
On the streets tonight
On the streets tonight
Were we'll see that shinning light
On our own, on our own
Out on the streets tonight

-Solo-

While Im laying here now, with you in a sea of emptiness
Parked along the highway stop, exit 9 with all the rest
With people who have ideas, like the ones running in my head
Of ideas to get you out, get you out and into bed
Were you can lay your head down and not feel all the pain
As Im holding you tight feeling your heart pound off my arms
Not knowing if what lays ahead is a problem to us now
To provide a life for the two of us, has left me wondering how
while we are
On the streets tonight
On the streets tonight
Were we'll see that shinning light
On our own, on our own
On the streets tonight
I know we'll put up a fight
While we're out on the streets tonight
