Candy's Boy

Bruce Springsteen

In Candy's room their are pictures of her savior on the wall
But to get to Candy's room, you've got to walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number, and they bring Candy toys
But when I come knockin', she smiles pretty, she knows tonight I'm gonna be

Well in the olden days when the Mongolian gangs rode herd out on route nine
We'd go ridin' in the rain, runnin' south, way down through the pines
Weekends in the sun in that cheap motel down by the Dynamo
We loved each other till their was nothing left, and drove that old car as
hard and fast as she would go

Well like a cold winter wind blowin'in babe I needed you
But Candy's got a man who takes care of her better than I do

Well there's machine and there's fire, waitin' for us on the edge of town
And there's some rough boys for hire, and they're waitin' to blow me and
Candy down it's all right cause they can't touch us now they'll never
My sweet love, for I will forever be Candy's boy..hmm hmm hmmhmm hmm hmm
my sweet love, I will forever be Candy's boy
