Long haired boy walkin' down a dusty road
Old guitar hangin' cross his back
Twenty dollar bill and a baseball glove in a duffle bag
Boy's got big plans
Livin' in a van, workin' for the man
Singin' when he can, gonna make a stand
Long hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer
Songs dancin' in his head
verse 2
Preacher man sittin' on the stand up high
Shiny black shoes tied to his feet
Reads about love and teaches 'bout love but feels no love
Regrets his life plan
Prayin' to the man, Preachin' for the man
Sinkin' in the sand, gonna make stands
No hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer
Songs dancin' in his head
verse 3
Southern Belle rockin' in an old arm chair
Ball of yarn sittin' in her lap
Fell asleep when she was young then woke up old
Never had a plan
Fell for the man, who held her hand
Member of the klan, gonna make stand
Grey hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer
Songs dancin' in her head
verse 4
Long haired boy ran into the preacher man
Sang a song that made him cry
Southern Belle listened to the preachers words
She could see his pain
She made a stand, embraced the man
Held his hand, they made a plan
Long hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer
Songs dancin' in their heads
Long hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer
Songs dancin' in their heads
