Just For Tonight Lyrics


Walk the lonely highway
Neon signs light the road
Won't you help me find the right way
To a place of time and hopeWhere we all get kind of mellow
And where life is not a joke
We're here today gone tomorrow
All in life is ours to ownBridge: You are with me, I won't ask you why, you are old enough to know
I will move you, and we'll draft away, then tomorrow I will goChorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin', just for tonightIs this cycle never ending
Or am I not meant to know
Lost in life am I pretending
Chasing winds that never blowYet in my life I've know many
Sharing moments as we go
Yes we've all had times so empty
That if someone asked we'd goBridge: I have held you, in a special way, but I won't see you again
As I leave you sorrow blinds my eyes to the things that are withinChorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonightAs I touch you, we will say goodbye, 'cause the times has come to go
You believe me, and I want to say, I will never let you goChorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight
Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
