born to a time when things were going fine / at the end of an era that was loosing it's shine / back in the day when gasoline was pennies / the cubes were big good times they were many / sometimes went too fast and revved it all night long / never backing off maintained running strong / brought up to work hard, respect and honesty / but things were changing fast for our proud country / survivor you made it through / stayed on course / nothing breaks you / survivor whatcha gonna do / standing fast / for all of you / spend our time in that old garage / late nights hot summer and under the stars / working everyday trying to find whats right / I get a little closer gotta keep it in sight / seen them all come and seen them all go / risin' up so fast and crashing down slow / stabbed in the back and left for dead again / pulled yourself together, no you never give in / survivor you made it through / stayed on course / nothing breaks you / survivor whatcha gonna do / standing fast / for all of you / survivor
