Interpret:

Bruce Springsteen

Album:

Born In The U.S.A.

We busted out of class 
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three minute record
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


We made a promise we swore we'd always remember no retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend, no retreat no surrender


Now young faces grow sad and old 
And hearts of fire grow cold, 
We swore blood brothers against the wind. 
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 our own 
with these drums and these guitars


We made a promise we swore we'd always
remember
No retreat, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night 
with a vow to defend 
No retreat 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
