Bruce Springsteen – No Surrender Lyrics  Share

From Bruce Springsteen's album: Born In The Usa

We busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school
Tonight I heart the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you^,re tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams down
We made a promise we swore we^,d always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter^,s night with a vow to defend
No retreat, believe me, no surrender

Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
Now I^,m ready to grow young again
And hear your sister^,s voice calling us home across the open yards
Believin^, we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars

We made a promise we swore we^,d always remember
No retreat, believe me, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat, believe me, no surrender

[ No Surrender lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/bruce-springsteen/no-surrender/ ]
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There^,s a war outside still raging, you say it ain^,t ours anymore to win
We could sleep in the twilight by the river side
With a wide open country in our hearts
And these romanics dreams in our heads

We made a promise we swore we^,d always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter^,s night with a vow to defend
No retreat, believe me, no surrender

Alternate 3rd verse (Live 1975-^,85):
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
But it^,s good to see your smiling face and to hear your voice again
We could sleep in the twilight by the river side
With a wide open country in our hearts
And these romanics dreams in our heads
