Start me up
Start me up

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck it's tough, so tough

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Start me up
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Start me up
We'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
If you start me up

Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
I make a grown men cry
I made a grown men give it a shot

Start me up
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Start me up
We'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Start me up
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
We livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

You got to start me up
