As
we stood there older than the man
And younger than the boys
That's right!
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night
And you were lonesome as a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as tender as a newborn
Spittin' to the eye of a hurricane
If we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever, never say die
Never say die
I guess you'd say we had our past
These words we knew so well
That's right, still they remain unspoken
And we take them to the
fiery gates of hell
Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother,
those things change
Cause love is just another word for trust
So hear me when I say
Never say die
Never say no
You gotta look up in the eye
And don't let go
When it's your own blood you bleed
And your own tears you cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
Yeah, we could run like lightning
Through the pouring rain
Then we'll be standing like the soldier
who comes marching home
again
It's what it is that I want written
on the gravestone where I lie
Tell them it's just my bones that died there
So save the tears they'll cry
My spirit is still riding
Southwest in this night
And it's these three
words that come to me
As I kiss this world goodbye
Never say die
Never say go
You've got Lucifer in the eye
and don't let him know
When it's your own blood you bleed
And your own tears you cry
When you're put up to believe
That it's the strong Lucifer
Never say die
Never say die
You
