Steve Perry Is Electric In This Live “Faithfully” Performance, 1983

We Love Steve Perry, Faithfully

As Steve serenades the crowd with his worldwide hit “Faithfully” you can almost hear the women in the audience melting with overjoyed emotion to the sweet sound of Perry’s perfect vocals.

One of the greatest things about Steve was his genuine intent behind the words of Journey’s song, especially in this heartbreaking tale of loneliness and the difficulties of making a marriage work on the road.

“They say that the road ain’t no place to start a family.”

This beautiful and timeless ballad will forever represent the faith a man on the road has in himself to fight the temptations on his journey through fame.

Fun Fact: Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain wrote this song about the rough relationship being a married man on the road in a rock band.

This infamous song hit Number 12 on the Billboard charts and will forever remain one of the greatest Journey songs and we cannot get enough!

+ Faithfully Lyrics +

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You’re on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin’ all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain’t no place to start a family
Right down the line
It’s been you and me
And lovin’ a music man
Ain’t always what it’s supposed to be

Oh girl you stand by me
I’m forever yours, faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain’t easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I’m forever yours, faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I’m still yours
I’m forever yours
Ever yours, faithfully
