Cover art for Livin' On A Prayer lyrics by Bon Jovi

This song is about a friend that Jon knew who got a baseball scholarship, and one day he got a call from his girlfriend saying that she was pregnant. Then Jon says the guy had to 'hang up the cleats'... I'm twelve and I know that...lol... And I got that from the story that Jon told at the MTV Video Awards in 1989.
