The wait is done, the battle's 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, you're flyin' high You'll 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 can't stop me now On through the night You won't stop me anyhow
The stakes are high and gettin' higher I'm flat on my face and you call me liar I'm watching you, you're watching me You're watching every move that I can see My reputation's still at stake I play it safe for safety's 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 can't get on stage For a country clause And the road ahead seems a little rough If you want to know my feelings I say that's tough, that's tough Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas You pay by check but they take cash Two roads ahead but which to take And you can't see it's your mistake
They're waitin' for you They're waitin' for me And what seems like eternity It's all tradition, it'll get you yet In rock'n'roll there's no safety net
[Repeat Chorus]
On through the night Goin' on and on, on and on On through the night You can't stop me anyhow Oh no no anyhow
