REO SPEEDWAGON

- Only The Strong Survive Lyrics

You may not know this
But you are everything you've ever needed
Heaven with a touch of New York
Silver with a touch of gold

And I can see where you're goin'
But I don't really know the way
It's got too many changes, too much rearranging
Too many ways to go astray

So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive

You walk on a wire, make a game of desire
Pitchin' pennies down a wishing well
You're leading the blind through there high and low times
But baby can you lead yourself?

So calm down, honey, forget about the money
If you need me I'll always be there
Go ride your high horse alone of course
'Cause if you need me I'll always care

But if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive

So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, yes we will

So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
Oh we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
Oh we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
