I was born on the wrong of the city
Desperation in my mothers eyes
Factory whistle would wake me in the morning
At night the sirens sang my lullaby

Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle
Heart of leather and hands of steel
Thought I was too much of a sole survivor
To ever feel the way I feel

Chorus
But I dont want to live without your love
I dont want to live without your love
I cant take another night
And Ive lost the will to fight
I dont want to live without your love

Dance with the devil in a bottle of whiskey
I paid the fiddler for every song
Youd think with all the lessons learned the hard way
Id know enough to be strong
(repeat chorus)
