Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen
Well, they're still racing out at the trestles But that blood it never burned in their veins Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview And a style she's trying to maintain. Well, if she wants to see me You can tell her that I'm easily found. Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge Tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town There's a darkness on the edge of town. Well, everybody's got a secret, Sonny Something they just can't face. Some folks spend their whole life trying to keep it They carry it with them every step that they take Till some day they just cut it loose Where no one asks any questions Or looks too long in your face In the darkness on the edge of town. Some folks are born into a good life And other folks get it anyway anyhow Well, now I lost my money and I lost my wife Them things don't seem to matter much to me now. Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop I'll be on that hill with everything I've got Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost I'll be there on time ready to pay the cost For wanting things that can only be found In the darkness on the edge of town In the darkness on the edge of town ?
