| | % She's a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America too She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend too It's a long day livin' in Reseda There's a free-way runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy, cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart And I'm free, I'm free fallin' All the vampires walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Boulevard And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows All the good girls are home with broken hearts I wanna glide down over Mulholland I wanna write her name in the sky I wanna free fall out into nothin' Gonna leave this world for awhile

You know, sometimes, I don't know why But this whole town just seems so hopeless I ain't really sure but it seems I remember the good times Were just a little bit more in focus But when she puts her arms around me I can somehow rise above it Yeah man when I got that little girl standing right by my side You know I can tell the whole wide world to shove it Hey here comes my girl Here comes my girl Yeah and she looks so right She is all I need tonight Every now and then I get down to the end of a day I'll just have to stop, ask myself, "What've I done?" It just seems so useless to have to work so hard And nothin' ever really seem to come from it And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever," And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it No, because this feels so good and so free and so right I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it Yeah every time it seems there ain't nothin' left no more I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin' Yeah, I just catch myself wanderin', waitin', worryin' About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin' And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever," And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it No, because this feels so good and so free and so right I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it

Well I won't back down No I won't back down You can stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down Gonna stand my ground Won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground And I won't back down Hey baby there ain't no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down Well I know what's right I got just one life In a world that keep on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down Hey baby There ain't no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down And I won't back down No I won't back down

Eddie waited till he finished high school He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo He met a girl out there with a tattoo too The future was wide open. They moved into a place they both could afford He found a nightclub he could work at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chords The sky was the limit. Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. The papers said Ed always played from the heart He got an agent and a roadie named Bart They made a record and it went in the charts The sky was the limit. His leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars, partied and mingled. Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single." The future was wide open. Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.
