No Surrender Lyrics - Singles - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Well, we bursted out of class 

Had to get away from those fools 

We learned more from a three-minute record, baby 

Than we ever learned in school 

Tonight I hear 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 

[Chorus:] 

Well, 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, baby, no surrender 

Well, 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 

Well maybe we'll cut someplace of own 

With these drums and these guitars 

'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember 

No retreat, baby, no surrender 

Blood brothers in the stormy night 

With a vow to defend 

No retreat, baby, 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 

I want to sleep beneath 

Peaceful skies in my lover's bed 

With a wide open country in my eyes 

And these romantic dreams in my head 

Once we made a promise we swore we'd always remember 

No retreat, baby, no surrender 

Blood brothers in a stormy night 

With a vow to defend 

No retreat, baby, no surrender 

Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh 

Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh 

Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh 

Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
