Faithful

remember when we danced

for the first time

as that radio was playin'

you had that 'ol mexican blanket

wrapped around your shoulder

"this can't be real" is what you kept sayin'

as the years go by like a bullet train

a silver blur in the drivin' rain

i wanna be faithful

faithful to you

i wanna be faithful

faithful to you

in the bitter chill

of this darkened world

that keeps on turnin'

i wanna feel the warmth

of this tiny flame

and keep it burnin'

don't wanna let it slip away

gonna live for the moment and learn to stay

sometimes it's easy to stand up tall

to gather all the strength i've found

but sometimes it feels like i'm in a heavy-weight fight

in the eighteenth round
