Once upon a time Not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks Union's been on strike Hes down on his luck It's tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day Working for her man, she brings home her pay For love, for love She says: "We've got to hold on to what we've got 'Cause it doesn't make a difference If we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love, we'll give it a shot" whoa, we're half way there whoa-oh, living on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear whoa-oh, living on a prayer Tommy got his six string in hock Now, he's holding in what he used To make it talk So tough, it's tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night Tommy whispers: "Baby, it's okay, someday We've got to hold on to what we've got 'Cause it doesn't make a difference If we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love, we'll give it a shot" Oh, we're half way there whoa-oh, living on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear whoa-oh, living on a prayer Living on a prayer We've got to hold on, ready or not You live for the fight when that's all that you've got Oh, we're half way there whoa-oh, living on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear whoa-oh living on a prayer whoa, half way there whoa-oh, living on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear whoa-oh, living on a prayer whoah, we're half way there Whoah, living on a prayer

Used to hear this in my first car, cruising the streets in a loop in our little town in 1986. I was 17. Perfect timing for this music, first car, girls, a bit of freedom in my small town. The next year when I was 18 would see me run into the girl I would marry. Just out of the blue by happenstance. We had 31 beautiful years together before she had to pass on to Heaven. Been 5 years since then now. All the music we used to play in the car riding around back then. You cant convey those feelings in text. Just doesn't come through. But I have my warm memories. I keep them with me. Im 55 now. No longer that 17 year old with his first car and all the girls attentions. Been quite a ride. And I wouldn't go back and change it. Loved it all. And Ill see her again one day. Till then we all have the music. Peace to all of you. ❤

If you're not born in this era but love this kind of music, welcome to the club.

1986: "wow this song is amazing" 2999: "wow this song is amazing"

If you're rocking this in 2026 you're my kind of people!
