She says she wants to see me She's tired of stayin in She says she wants some rockin' Shes got the right man I'm gonna take her ridin' Out past the edge of town Out where the wind's still racin' free on the heartland I'll be there nine tonight nine tonight nine tonight Can't wait for nine tonight nine tonight nine tonight
I'll be there nine tonight ooh, nine tonight nine tonight She might be my baby She might be mine - tonight Nine tonight nine tonight nine tonight she might be mine tonight
I'm movin' in to action I'm shinin' up mt wheels I'm tryin' hard to think of the right things to say now The sun is slowly sinkin' Here comes a great big moon I'm startin' up my engine It won't be long now
I'll be there nine tonight nine tonight nine tonight Can't wait for nine tonight nine tonight nine tonight
I'll be there nine tonight ooh, nine tonight nine tonight She might be my baby She might be mine - tonight Nine tonight nine tonight nine tonight she might be mine tonight
Just take those old records off the shelf I sit and listen to 'em by myself Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock and roll
Don't try to take me to a Disco You'll never even get me out on the floor In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door I like that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll That kinda music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock and roll
Don't wanna hear 'em play a Tango I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul There's only one sure way to get me to go Start playin' old time rock and roll
Call me a relic, call me what'cha will Say I'm old fashioned, say I'm over the hill Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll That kinda music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll That kinda music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll That kinda music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll That kinda music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock and roll
It seems like yesterday. But it was long ago. Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights, There in the darkness with the radio playing low. And the secrets that we shared. The mountains that we moved. Caught like a wildfire out of control, Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
And I remember what she said to me, How she swore that it never would end. I remember how she held me oh so tight. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
Against the wind, We were runnin' against the wind. We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind.
And the years rolled slowly past. And I found myself alone, Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends. I found myself further and further from my home. And I guess I lost my way. There were oh so many roads. I was living to run and running to live. Never worried about paying or even how much I owed. Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time, Breaking all of the rules that would bend, I began to find myself searching, Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind, A little something against the wind, I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifter's days are past me now I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind I'm still running against the wind I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind Well I'm older now and still runnin' against the wind

You're no angel, I'm no saint, if we were We wouldn't be in this place tonight
Lost and lonely, scared and confused We both have a past, nothing to lose, tonight Well it cuts like a knife these bad luck blues We both got scars from the hell we been thru Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose
So let's roll the dice, one more time Take a chance on love again tonight Risk it all, lay it on the line Let the skeletons fight for life Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide
Reconnected, feelin' no pain Seeking shelter like a spark in the rain, tonight (ooh yeah) Worn and weathered, scared to go home We're here together, but still all alone, tonight (uh uh yeah) And there's no need to lie, we've both been abused The love and the pain, the cocaine and booze, now Most people don't, but some people do
So let's roll the dice, one more time Take a chance on love again tonight Risk it all, lay it on the line Let the skeletons fight for life Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide
