Workin' in the city
This town's got no pity
Bossman owns a heart of stone
I'm on the line, it's overtime
I'll tell you it's a crime
They get me by the hour
By my blue collar
You're squeezin' me too tight
It's Friday night
Let's run tonight
Till the morning light.
Keep on runnin', keep on hidin'
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay, it's alright
It's okay, it's alright
And if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead!
Keep on runnin' keep on hidin'
Keep on runnin' away, it's okay.
Cruisin' with my baby
Think we just might maybe
Find some back seat rhythm and blues
Radio, down we go, down we go.

"It was the thrill of a lifetime in one respect, a nightmare in another," he said with a laugh. "I couldn't
believe some of the assholes who were at that show. They were yelling that Steve Perry couldn't sing like Jagger. I should
hope not; Steve Perry's a trained vocalist. I'm not sure what Jagger is."
- Jonathan Cain quoted in Hit Parader
November 1982
