The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon He walked in his parents footsteps on his way home from school Those ties that were so sweet, also burned under his feet Now he's ready to walk a path that is new and he can't turn backHe can't turn back He can't turn backBurning through the crowds, he made it out alive Betting everything on himself tonightTonightShe's driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon She's driving down the same old roads her parents took her through Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time She's turning down a road that is new and she can't turn backNo, she can't turn back She can't turn backStepping through the darkness, into the light Betting everything on herself tonightTonightStepping out of a Asbury Lanes in a midnight snow The skeleton of this old town feels like it's coming alive Riots and corruption, beaches and Bruce These songs were the keys to the engines of our growing upAnd we wanna say thanks to the music in our lives Forgive ourselves for all those lies Send some love 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 freeThe sun shines brightly on us this afternoon Walking in our own footsteps, we search for something moreAnd we can't turn back No, we can't turn back We can't turn backStepping through the darkness, into the light We're betting everything, we're betting everything We're betting everything, on ourselves tonight
