The wait is done, the battles 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, youre flyin high
Youll 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 cant stop me now
On through the night
You wont stop me anyhow

The stakes are high and gettin higher
Im flat on my face and you call me liar
Im watching you, youre watching me
Youre watching every move that I can see
My reputations still at stake
I play it safe for safetys 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 cant get on stage
For a country clause
And the road ahead seems a little rough
If you want to know my feelings
I say thats tough, thats tough
Your wheels aint turnin, youre out of gas
You pay by check but they take cash
Two roads ahead but which to take
And you cant see its your mistake

Theyre waitin for you
Theyre waitin for me
And what seems like eternity
Its all tradition, itll get you yet
In rocknroll theres no safety net

[Repeat Chorus]

On through the night
Goin on and on, on and on
On through the night
You cant stop me anyhow
Oh no no anyhow
