About Never Say Die

"Never Say Die" is the third solo single by American rock singer Jon Bon Jovi. It was released in 1991 from his debut album Blaze of Glory, the soundtrack album from the film Young Guns II. In Australia it became Jon Bon Jovi's third solo single to chart when it entered the charts on April 7, 1991 and peaked at number 60 during a four-week run. The song was covered by Glaswegian hard rock outfit Ayrial on their debut album The Life. The band changed the song's title to Someday to reflect the evolving nature of lead singer Dee McLaren's progressive musical vision. In his autobiography, McLaren described his cover as "the perfect song."

As we stood there older than men 
And younger than the boys (that's right) 
We were as still as the wind 
That blows on a hot August night 

And you were lonesome 
As a jukebox 
But deadly just the same 
I could be as gentle as a newborn 
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane 

And we knew how to laugh 
And we knew how to cry 
Yeah, we sure knew how to live 
But we don't ever 

Never say die 
Never say die 

I guess you'd say we had a pact 
These words we knew so well (that's right) 
Still they remained unspoken 
And we'd take them to the fiery 
Gates of hell 

Once I was afraid of love 
But when it's your brother 
Those things change 
'Cause love is just another word 
For trust 
So hear me when I say 

Never say die 
Never say no 
You got to look them in the eye 
And don't let go 
When it's your own blood you'll bleed 
And your own tears you'll cry 
When you're brought up to believe 
That it's the strong who survive 
Never say die 

Yeah, and we could run like lightning 
Through the pouring rain 
And we'll be standing like a soldier 
Who comes marching home again 

They ask what it is that I want written 
On the gravestone where I'll lie 
Tell them it's just my bones 
That died there 
So save the tears they'll cry 

My spirit is still riding somewhere 
Somewhere in this night 
When it's these three words that come to me 
As I kiss this world goodbye 

Never say die 
Never say no 
You got to look them in the eye 
And don't let go 
When it's your own blood you'll bleed 
And your own tears you'll cry 
When you're brought up to believe 
That it's the strong who survive 
Never say die
