It's another long night
Ain't no heart in this town without pity
There's not enough love
Yeah it's tough in this part of the city

Somebody cries
Tonight we ride
We'll take you to the other side
Hear me mother
Will day ever come
Say a prayer for your wayward son
If I could I would run

But there's no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free

On the far side of the town
With the rain falling down
She stands waiting
It don't seem right
She cries to the night
Her heart breaking

She can hear his words
Still see his face
It takes her to another place
Hear me father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape

Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
Ain't we born to be free
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh
Yeah, yeah

Hear me father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape

Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
No way out
