Ten years gone before me, seems like yesterday One part of my life over, another new part to play It's been heavy duty, I've got the scars to prove But I've still got the hunger and I've still got the groove Through all the fears, broken hearts and bitter tears Nothing kills the fire inside me As time goes by, part of me will never die I'll be a road dog forever I never used to worry about the world today I never used to bother about the cards I played From innocence to suspicion, these years taught me Looking through the mirror, I'm still who I used to be Through all the fears, broken hearts and bitter tears Nothing kills the fire inside me As time goes by, part of me will never die I'll be a road dog forever Through all the fears, broken hearts and bitter tears Nothing kills the fire inside me And when times change, rock n' roll still bears my name I'll be a road dog forever
