The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon He walked in his parents footsteps on his way home from school Those ties that were so sweet also burned under his feet Now hes ready to walk a path that is new And he cant turn back He cant turn back He cant turn back Running through the crowds He made it out alive Betting everything on himself tonight Shes driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon Shes driving down the same old road her parents took her through Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time Shes turning down a road that is new And she cant turn back No, she cant turn back She cant turn back Stepping through the darkness Into the light Betting everything on herself tonight Stepping out of the Asbury Lanes in the midnight snow The skeleton of this old town feels like its coming alive Riots and corruption, beaches and Bruce These songs were the keys to the engines of our growing up And we wanna say thanks to the music in our lives Forgive ourselves for all the lies Send some love to all the lonely Dont forget were all one family Thanks to the music in our lives For helping us to survive Lost in one lonely dream Born to run and live free The sun shines brightly on us this afternoon Walking in our own footsteps, a search for something new And we cant turn back No, we cant turn back We cant turn back Stepping through the darkness Into the light Were betting everything, were betting everything Were betting everything on ourselves tonight
