“I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.”

“I'm young enough to still see the passionate boy I used to be.
But I'm old enough to say I got a good look at the other side.
I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives.
But right now I just want to take what I can
Get tonight.While the night is still young,
I want to keep making love to you,
While the night is still young.”

The Night Is Still Young.
Song lyrics, Greatest Hits - Volume I & Volume II (1985)

“Only the good die young.”

“Listen boy
Don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away.
You know I don't like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made.
She's a real nice girl
And she's always there for you.
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do.”

Tell Her About It.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)

“You know the good ole days weren't always good,
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.”

Keeping the Faith.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)

“You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
But that never hurt no one.
Come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line.
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun.
And only the good die young.”

Only the Good Die Young.
Song lyrics, The Stranger (1977)

“Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face.”

Allentown.
Song lyrics, The Nylon Curtain (1982)

“They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun…
And only the good die young.”

Only the Good Die Young.
Song lyrics, The Stranger (1977)

“If I traveled all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.”

You're My Home.
Song lyrics, Piano Man (1973)

“You have to learn to pace yourself.
Pressure.
You're just like everybody else.
Pressure.
You've only had to run so far,
So good.
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face.
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure.”

Pressure.
Song lyrics, The Nylon Curtain (1982)

“You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good;
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood.
It's alright, it's alright;
Sometimes that's what it takes.
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.”

You're Only Human (Second Wind).
Song lyrics, Greatest Hits - Volume I & Volume II (1985)

“Well I'm living here in Allentown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting up today.”

Allentown.
Song lyrics, The Nylon Curtain (1982)

“You can get just so much
From a good thing.
You can linger too long
In your dreams.
Say goodbye to the
Oldies but goodies.
You know the good ole days weren't always good,
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.”

Keeping the Faith.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)
