In This Night
Written by Tommy Shaw

I wanna be the hero
I wanna be the man
I want to be the one who pulls you through when nobody can

Come on baby
I'm ready right now
Yeah who knows
Maybe I'm the one gonna make you scream out loud

I'll be here right by your side
I won't leave you alone in this night

Shake loose of those chains
Of your sad remains
You're gonna look back someday and find it was growing pains

I wanna get to know you
Gotta let me try
You got to let me show I understand how you feel inside

Come on baby
Open up for me
You might be surprised to find how easy it can be

I'll be here
Right by your side
I won't leave you alone in this night

You ride shotgun
Let's see how you feel
You might just find you enjoy the ride with me at the wheel

I wanna drive you
On down the road
We won't ever look back cause we're never coming back
No more, no more, no more

I'll be here
Right by your side
And I won't leave you alone on this ride
I won't leave you alone in this night

Interpretation

Tonight I want to get to know you and have a good time together. Set aside any hurt from your past and look to the future together with me. I will care enough to understand you and will never hurt your or abandon you.
