Livin' On A Prayer - Live, 1989

Once upon a time not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks

Union's been on strike

He's down on his luck it's tough

So tough

Gina works the diner all day

Working for her man

She brings home her pay for love

For love

She says, "We've got to hold on to what we've got

'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got each other and that's a lot for love

We'll give it a shot"

We're half way there

Livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it I swear

Livin' on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock

Now he's holding in

What he used to make it talk so tough

It's tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night

Tommy whispers, "Baby, it's okay

Someday"

We've got to hold on to what we've got

'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got each other and that's a lot for love

We'll give it a shot

We're half way there

Livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear

Livin' on a prayer

We've got to hold on ready or not

You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

We're half way there

Livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear

Livin' on a prayer
