No Surrender (solo acoustic) Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Well, we busted 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 wanna close your eyes
And follow your dreams down

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


And 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 callin′ us home
Across the open yards
Well, maybe we could cut some place of our 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, hey

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la


Now on the street tonight, the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closin′ in
There's a war outside still raging
You say it ain′t ours anymore to win

I wanna sleep beneath peaceful skies
In my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head

′Cause once 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
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
