verse 1 Long haired boy walkin' down a dusty road Old guitar hangin' cross his back Twenty dollar bill and a baseball glove in a duffle bag Boy's got big plans Livin' in a van, workin' for the man Singin' when he can, gonna make a stand Long hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer Songs dancin' in his head verse 2 Preacher man sittin' on the stand up high Shiny black shoes tied to his feet Reads about love and teaches 'bout love but feels no love Regrets his life plan Prayin' to the man, Preachin' for the man Sinkin' in the sand, gonna make stands No hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer Songs dancin' in his head verse 3 Southern Belle rockin' in an old arm chair Ball of yarn sittin' in her lap Fell asleep when she was young then woke up old Never had a plan Fell for the man, who held her hand Member of the klan, gonna make stand Grey hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer Songs dancin' in her head verse 4 Long haired boy ran into the preacher man Sang a song that made him cry Southern Belle listened to the preachers words She could see his pain She made a stand, embraced the man Held his hand, they made a plan Long hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer Songs dancin' in their heads Long hair, don't care, livin' on a prayer Songs dancin' in their heads
