Breaking The Chains
Album - 15 settembre 1983 - Debaser id 28784

Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change

Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more

(Chorus 1)
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains

Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try

I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year

(Chorus 2)
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains

(Solo)

Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive

I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free

(Repeat Chorus 2)
(Repeat Chorus 2)

(lynch, dokken)

I talk with you
I think of her
It always turns out the same
I changed my mind
Then I'm not sure
Love's got me shackled in chains

Win or lose
We've lit the fuse
I've lost control
Then you explore my soul

(chorus)
In the middle
Of love
In the middle
Of love

Torn apart
Right from the start
Is it too late to be true?



Now things have changed
We're not the same
I've lost control
Then you explore my soul

(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)

(solo)

(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)

In the middle
I lose control
In the middle
I lose my mind as well
In the middle
Everyday
In the middle
Love's got me chained

(repeat chorus and fade)

(dokken)

Felony
In tight blue jeans
I did not know
She was so sweet
Felony
What ya did ta me
The judge said sorry
First degree

(chorus)
You're here in my heart
Felony
You're here in my heart
Felony, felony, felony, yeah
Felony, felony, felony

Well I was shot down
By a heart so cruel
You were were laughin' yeah


You took me for a fool
I'm struck down
Left lyin' in the dirt
I never knew
How much love it hurts

(chorus)
(solo)

Harvard paid
Detective man
I'm in his sights
I'm on the run
Those tight blue jeans
That drove me wild
I did not know
She was just a child

Felony, yeah

(chorus)
Felony, felony, felony

(dokken, brown, lynch)

It's late at night
I get that feeling running through my veins
You know it drives me insane
In the car, slam the door, turn the key and I'll be free
On that highway tonight

Highway bound
I'm so alive
I'm shifting into overdrive
Nightrider
Autobon
Route 61
I'll drive this road into the sun
Nightrider

My machine is tired and cool
I don't need to go to school
I'll put the hammer down and I'll leave this town
I'm racing time
The freeway just seess to unwind in front of me
And there's no return

My wheels of love
Fit me like a racing glove


Nightrider
Don't touch the brake
Don't cross the line
Don't make mistakes
'cause you know that i'm
Nightrider
Nightrider

Here I come

The engine roars
------- and tied
I'm locked inside my doors
On a midnight run
But who klnows when
Danger lies around the bend for me
With the morning sun

Pass her by
Faster than the speed of light
Nightrider
You better run
Look out now
'cause here I come
Nightrider
Nightrider
