About The Secret of My Success

The Secret of My Success is a song performed by Night Ranger from their album Big Life as well as on the soundtrack to the 1987 comedy film, The Secret of My Success. The star of the film, Michael J. Fox, was the person to request the band to write and record the song. It reached No. 12 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U. S. The song was nominated for the Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Original Song in 1988, but lost to "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," the central theme of Dirty Dancing, played by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. The video for the song featured Vince Neil, Tommy Lee and "Weird Al" Yankovic acting as a horn section. more »

Think of it, I hold the world in the palm of my hand
Run a comb through my hair
Head on out for some new foreign land
And all this could seem like a dream out the door
With everyday people, face down on the floor

I always said, 
"I could make it and be who I am"
There's a new look in sight, 
What a change for the new modern man
With all this it seems, 
Like I'm dying for more
The streets are on fire, 
Never seen it before
It's like the sound of electric guitars

Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is 
I'm living 25 hours a day

It's amazing to me, what a fool will believe to get by
With a change of your mind, 
I can live, I can fly
The harder they come, the harder they fall
I never say maybe and I go for it all
Just like the sound of electric guitars

Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is 
I'm living 25 hours a day

With nothing to show, just sweat from my soul
My heart's on the line and I'm dying to go
Look at us now, gonna make it somehow
Hold on to me baby, 
Can't hold me down

Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is 
I'm living 25 hours a day

The secret of my success is 
I'm living 25 hours a day
25 hours a day
