Halfway To Opening Day


We're now past the halfway point of the off-season.  Eighty more days until Opening Day... but who's counting.


Bon Jovi (1986)
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
It's tough
So tough

Gina works the diner all day
Workin' for her man, she brings home her pay
For love

She says, We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot

We're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holdin' in, when he used to make it talk
So tough
It's tough

Gina dreams of runnin' away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby, it's okay
Someday

We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot

We're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer

Ooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
