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
And he can't turn back

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

Buring through the clouds, he made it out alive
He's 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, into the light
Shes betting everything on herself tonight

Tonight!

Stepping out of a Asbury Lanes in a midnight snow
The skeleton of this old town looks like it's coming alive
Bryan said "corruption, beaches and bruce,
The songs were the keys to the engines of our growin' up

And we wanna say, thanks to the music in our lives,
Forgive ourselves for all the lies

Send somebody 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, we search for something new

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

Ohhh tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
(ohhh ohhh woahhh ohhh ohhh)
Tonight!
(ohhh ohhh woahhh ohhh ohhh)
Tonight!
(ohhh ohhh woahhh ohhh ohhh)
Tonight!
