Start me up, start me up
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Start me up, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Start me up, we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer if you start me up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
I make a grown men cry
I made a grown men give it a shot
Start me up, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Start me up, we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Start me up
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
We livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
You got to start me up
