When the sun goes down, I been around Watching the future I am ready to fight in the heat of the night Whatever suits you I'm ripped to the bone, never alone Just done it for you Telling the tale, blazing a trail I'm a rock and roll soldier And when I'm all dead and gone Forever I'll carry on In the heat of the night Longing for the sky In the heat of the night Never say goodbye Been a travelling man with a hard rockin' gang Living the highway I've been up, I been down, always around I did it my way When I'm over and done and the show must go on Giving it to you So open your eyes, had a hell of a life It's my resurrection And when I'm all dead and gone Forever I'll carry on In the heat of the night Longing for the sky In the heat of the night Never say goodbye In the heat of the night Longing for the sky In the heat of the night Never say goodbye ♪ And when I'm all dead and gone Forever I'll carry on In the heat of the night Longing for the sky In the heat of the night Never say goodbye In the heat of the night Longing for the sky In the heat of the night Never say goodbye
