  • Does the sun still shine on a dead-end street?
    Will a rose still grow outta broken concrete?
    Is there anything left for a sinner like me?

    I'm tired of talkin' 'bout someday
    All that we've been given are the dog days
    Nothing is forgiven, it's the hard way
    Right or wrong
    I'm tired of talkin' 'bout somehow
    Wake up then it's welcome to your breakdown
    This family tree's got nothing left to prove now
    Me and you, we're the living proof

    Close your eyes and tell me what you think you see
    Is faith and hope enough to make a fool believe
    Is there anything left for a sinner like me?

    I'm tired of talkin' 'bout someday
    All that we've been given are the dog days
    Nothing is forgiven, it's the hard way
    Right or wrong
    I'm tired of talkin' 'bout somehow
    Wake up then it's welcome to your breakdown
    This family tree's got nothing left to prove now
    Me and you, we're the living proof

    First the son becomes a father
    Then the father is the son
    It's a never-ending circle
    And the circle's never done
    This love will last forever
    We're not footprints in the sand
    It's time you understand

    I'm tired of talkin' 'bout someday
    All that we've been given are the dog days
    Nothing is forgiven, it's the hard way
    Right or wrong
    I'm tired of talkin' 'bout somehow
    Wake up then it's welcome to your breakdown
    This family tree's got nothing left to prove now
    Me and you, we're the living proof

    Yeah, yeah
    Oh, we're the living proof
    We're the living proof Writer/s: John Shanks, Jon Bon Jovi
