Lyrics:
I took a walk down a road
It’s the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a man’s got to make his way
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I took a ride in a world
I’ll be spinnin’ for the rest of my life
I feel your heart beatin’ baby
ooo sometimes it cuts like a knife
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Where your love tonight can shine on me
I’m coming home
Where your lovin’ arms can set me free
I took a walk down a road
It’s the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a mans got to make his way
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Oh yea
I’m on my way
I’m coming home I’m coming home
Here we go ooo yea, ooo yea
I’m on my way
Come on baby, Come on
Let your love, shine on me
I’m on my way, Sing along
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on me
I’m on my way, Ahh yea
Shine on me
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
A very characteristic demo song of Cinderella’s early days that remains unreleased to this day. The demo is part of a compilation called “The Basement Tapes” from 1985.
The line-up of Cinderella on this recording was Tom Keifer (vocals, guitars), Eric Brittingham (bass, backing vocals), Michael Kelly Smith (guitars) (ex-Britny Fox) and the now deceased Tony “Stix” Destra (drums) (ex-Britny Fox).
Official video from the band’s same titled third studio album. The album hit #19 in the US and went platinum for shipping a million albums there the same year. As a single “Heartbreak Station” it peaked at #44 on the Hot 100. Although Cinderella presented some differences in their musical style in this album “Heartbreak Station” is an amazing ballad very characteristic of the late 80s/early 90s Hair Metal sound.
The second single by Cinderella Recorded on the band’s first album, “Night Songs”, and was released in 1986. Nobody’s Fool charted at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also charted at #25 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks in 1987. This was Cinderella’s second best-selling single, surpassed only by 1988’s “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone)”.
The music video continues the storyline from where the “Shake Me” video leaves off, following the Cinderella-like girl as she accompanies the band to their rehearsal space, with the wicked sisters in pursuit. As the band performs the song, the girl runs home for the stroke of midnight when her rocker outfit changes back to a plain dress. She later meets the band again for an autograph, and the video ends as a glint of recognition passes across Tom Keifer’s face.
