Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst

Did you check us out down at the local show

Were you wearing denim, wearing leather

Did you run down to the front

Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front

Did you find out where to see your favorite band

Did you listen to the radio every Friday night

Did hang around your local record store

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums

Maybe you can learn to play the bass

You can always be a singer like me and front the band

When on the stage we wait at your command

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

It was you - that set the spirit free

It was you - that put us here today

It was you - that filled the concert halls

It was you - that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free
