Tommy used to work on the docks Union's been on strike He's down on his luck It's tough, so tough
We've got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Start me up, we're half way there Livin' on a prayer Start me up, we'll make it, I swear Livin' on a prayer if you start me up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got I can't compete with the riders in the other heats I make a grown men cry I made a grown men give it a shot
Start me up, we're half way there Livin' on a prayer Start me up, we'll make it, I swear Livin' on a prayer, 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
Start me up Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear We livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
