Songwriter: Neal Schon Steve Perry

Producer: Kevin Elson Geoff Workman

[Verse One]
It was a hot and steamy night
Then Frankie pulled his gun in sight
He said, "Now Suzi, don't you lie
Did Stevie, did he catch you with another guy?"

[Chorus]
Standing in the line of fire it's going to shoot ya
Standing in the line of fire it's coming to ya
It's going through ya

[Verse Two]
He told her that he had been true
And that he'd never made her blue, no
So don't go saying Stevie's a liar
Girl, I've got my finger on a hair-trigger wire

[Chorus]
Standing in the line of fire it's going to shoot ya
Standing in the line of fire it's coming to ya
It's going through ya
Bye, bye, bye, Suzi
So long girl

[Interlude]

[Verse Three]
Those gunshots echoed through the town
Oh Frankie threw his shotgun down
That roof had moonlight shining through
She said she'd never, never, never, make him blue, yea

[Chorus]
Standing in the line of fire it's going to shoot ya
Standing in the line of fire it's coming to ya
Standing in the line of fire it's going to shoot ya
It's going through ya
Bye, bye, bye, Suzi
So long

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
