1. Rock the Nations (4:41)
[Byford/Quinn/Oliver/Glockler]
Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
We hit the city in the morning
No time to eat or sleep
Six concerts in a week
Take the show across the nation
Could this be San Antone?
Or am I stood in Rome?
Is the real or am I dreaming?
Standing by the backstage door
Just like the one before
We're here to set the spirit free
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Wait for the curtain call
Excitement in the hall
The stage crew ready at their stations
The houselights start to dim
Another show begins
Now it's time to rock the nations
Stand in the flashing lights
The music fills the night
The feeling just goes on and on
We take the last encore
The first of many more
The spotlight takes the final bow
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
Daylight comes without warning
North, south, east and west
We'll put you to the test
As we rock across your nation
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
[Repeat to end]
Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
We hit the city in the morning
No time to eat or sleep
Six concerts in a week
Take the show across the nation
Could this be San Antone?
Or am I stood in Rome?
Is the real or am I dreaming?
Standing by the backstage door
Just like the one before
We're here to set the spirit free
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Wait for the curtain call
Excitement in the hall
The stage crew ready at their stations
The houselights start to dim
Another show begins
Now it's time to rock the nations
Stand in the flashing lights
The music fills the night
The feeling just goes on and on
We take the last encore
The first of many more
The spotlight takes the final bow
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
Daylight comes without warning
North, south, east and west
We'll put you to the test
As we rock across your nation
Give us the stage
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations
[Repeat to end]
