Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-
Than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just
And follow your dreams down
Well, we made a promise we swore
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the win ter's night
No retreat, baby, no sur render
Well, now young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
Now I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice
Well maybe we'll cut someplace
With these drums and these guitars
'Cause we made a promise we swore
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night
Now on the street tonight
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
You say it ain't ours anymore to win
Peaceful skies in my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head
Once we made a promise we swore
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in a stormy night
No retreat, baby, no surrender
No retreat, baby, no sur render
