The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon.
Walked in his parents footsteps on his way home from school.
Those ties that were so sweet, also burned under his feet.
Now he is ready to walk a path that is new.
Yet he can't turn back.

He can't turn back!
He can't turn back.

Running through the crowds, he made it out alive.
Betting everything on himself tonight.

Tonight!

She's driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon.
She's driving down the same old road, her parents took her through.
Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time.

She's turning down the road that is new, and she can't turn back.
No, she can't turn back!
She can't turn back.

Stepping through the darkness, it's a new day light.
Betting everything on herself tonight.

Tonight!

Stepping out of a Asbury Lanes in a midnight snow.
Standing in a missile town. Feels like it's coming alive
Riots and corruption, New Jersey roots!
These songs were the key to the engines of our growing up.

And we wanna say, thanks to the music in our lives,
forgive ourselves for all those lies.
Send some love to all the lonely,
Don't forget we're 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 more.

We can't turn back.
No, we can't turn back!
We can't turn back.

Stepping through the darkness, into the light
We're betting everything, we're betting everything
We're betting everything! On ourselves tonight.

Oh tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
(Oh oh whoa oh oh)
Tonight!
(Oh oh whoa oh oh)
Tonight!
(Oh oh whoa oh oh)
Tonight!
