Trying to remember a name of a late '80s/early '90s hair metal song...

So, I've had the chorus of this song stuck in my head for a while now, but can't remember its name and by whom it is.
It's some sort of sleaze/glam from late '80s/early '90s. First I thought it was Shotgun Messiah or LA Guns, but it seems it's not by either of them.
The lyrics in the chorus are "No way out...", repeated a few times. It's not No Easy Way Out by Roxx Gang.
Anyone got any idea what the song in question might be?

was it this? mid-1990s I think
D Generation - No Way Out

No, this was definately from the classic hair metal era, '92 at latest.
Although, I'm not even that sure the words "No way out" were in the chorus anymore...

'Heaven's Trail' by Tesla? The phrase "No way out" is repeated in the chorus.

I would almost bet money that's what he's thinking of.

That's what I was thinking, unless...

The first thing I thought of is Tesla - Heaven's Trail.

No and no.
Now I seriously think I might have misheard the lyrics. I do know the melody, but unfortunately I can't post that here. Sorry to have bothered you guys.

Heaven's Trail (No Way Out) by TESLA?

I'd post the song, but the studio version is nowhere to be found on YouTube

You can hear samples here though:

Again, no and no.

The first thing i thought of with those lyrics was the song 'no easy way out' by robert tepper which is on the rocky 4 soundtrack. That whole album is littered with 80's classics.

Or could it be no way out by jefferson starship?

Sadly, it's not this one either.
As I already said, it's quite possible I actually misheard the lyrics.
The song I remember is upbeat, not AOR but not really heavy either, with a three-word chorus that I believed to be "No way out" repeated several times.
Like:
"Noooooo waaaay ouuuuuuut
Noooooo waaaay ouuuuuuut
Noooooo waaaaay ouuuuuut"

Or whatever the chorus is.

I believe this ticks all the boxes:

did you hear this song on the radio..if so which radio station and how long ago..
Are you sure thats the chorus or could it be a pre-Chorus...
Are you sure it was from the 80s....
have you ever seen a video for the song..

I know it's not this song - but couldn't resist - lol - comedy relief -

I've got nothing else.

the band called Rage from Germany had a song from 1986's Reign Of Fear album called "Suicide" and the chorus goes: "Nooooooo Wayyyyyy Ouuut, Suicide". I think I'll get the youtube vid and postit in a minute.

Actually I'm wondering if your thinking of a song that had the lyrics "no easy way, no easy way out" during the chorus and if so you are like me in that I cannot recollect the name of the band and I bought the CD! They also had a great song on that cd that had the lyrics "bury me beneath the weeping willow tree". I believe they only put out 1 maybe 2 albums and it was in the 1987-1992 time range.

That's the song and that's the band! Thanks ZombieHavoc! Not sure if that solves it for the original postee.

Unfortunately I don't think it solves his issue, because he specifies in his post that it is not Roxx Gang. Ha.

But at least one mystery is solved for the day.
