On Through The Night Lyrics

On Through The Night

The wait is done, the battle's won 
So count the cost before you run 
'Cos 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 

[Repeat Chorus]

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 say that's tough, 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 

[Repeat Chorus]

On through the night 
Goin' on and on, on and on 
On through the night 
You can't stop me anyhow 
Oh no no anyhow
