I'm your worn in leather jacket
I'm the volume in you fucked up teenage band
A pack of smokes and a six-pack
I'm the dreams you had walkin' down the railroad tracks
You and me

I'm your first taste of romance
I'm your first broken heart on a Saturday night
Guys like us have no chance
But I'm the thing that keeps you and me alive
But not forever

So take me down the road
Take me to the show
There's something to believe in
That no-one else knows
Don't take me for granted

I'm the blood on your guitar
I'm that wave you caught back in 1975
I'm as strong as a thousand armies
I'm as soft as a petal on a long-stemmed rose
I am love

So take me down the road
Take me to the show
There's something to believe in
That no-one else knows
Don't take me for granted
I'm with you when you're born
You can take me when you die
With all the reasons why
Don't take me for granted
