On Through the Night Lyrics

The wait is done, the battle's won
So count the cost before you run
Cause on and on your time was power
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours
Come on down, you're flyin' high
You'll never win if you never try
Stop the hate and carry the load
Come on, get this show on the road
On through the night, you can't stop me now
On through the night, you won't stop me anyhow

The stakes are high and gettin' higher
I'm flat on my face and you call me liar
I'm watching you, you're watching me
You're watching every move that I can see
My reputation's still at stake
I play it safe for safety's sake
Your ego and your promises
Are gonna fade again and again
On through the night, you won't stop me now
On through the night, you won't stop me anyhow
Not anyhow

All you want to hear is the audience applause
You can't get on stage for a country clause
And the road ahead seems a little rough
If you want to know my feelings I'd say that's tough
And that's tough
Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas
You pay by check but they take cash
Two roads ahead but which to take
And you can't see it's your mistake
They're waitin' for you
They're waitin' for me
And what seems like eternity
It's all tradition, it'll get you yet
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net

On through the night, you can't stop me now
On through the night, you can't stop me anyhow
On through the night, goin' on and on, on and on
On through the night, you can't stop me anyhow
No no not anyhow
