Lyrics Only the Strong Survive - REO Speedwagon

Only the Strong Survive

You may not know this
But you are everything you’ve ever needed
Heaven with a touch of New York
Silver with a touch of gold
And I can see where you’re goin'
But I don’t really know the way
It’s got too many changes, too much rearrangin'
Too many ways to go astray
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I’d never walk that road alone
I’ve heard it was hard
I’ve heard it was long
But we’ll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive
You walk on a wire, make a game of desire
Pitchin' pennies down a wishin' well
You’re leadin' the blind through their high and low times
But baby, can you lead yourself?
So calm down, honey, forget about the money
If you need me, I’ll always be there
Go ride your high horse alone, of course
'Cause if you need me, I’ll always care
But if you wanna go, let me go along
I’d never walk that road alone
I’ve heard it was hard
I’ve heard it was long
But we’ll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I’d never walk that road alone
I’ve heard it was hard
I’ve heard it was long
But we’ll come back alive
Yes, we will
But if you wanna go, let me go along
I’d never walk that road alone
I’ve heard it was hard
I’ve heard it was long
But we’ll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive
Oh, we’ll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive
Oh, we’ll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive, whoo!
