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      (Repeat to end)
