Darkness On The Edge Of Town

Bruce Springsteen

1. Now they're still racing out at the trestles
   But that blood it never burned in her 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 beneath Abram's Bridge
   And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
   There's a darkness on the edge of town
   
2. Now everybody's got a secret Sonny
   Just something that they just can't face
   Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
   They carry it with them every step that they take
   Till someday they just cut it loose
   Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
   Where no one asks any questions or looks too long in your face
   In the darkness on the edge of town
   In the darkness on the edge of town
   
3. Now some folks are born into a good life
   Other folks they get it anyway anyhow
   Well me, I lost my money and I lost my wife
   Those things don't matter much to me now
   'Cause tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
   I'll be on that hill with everything I got
   Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
   I'll be there on time and I'll 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
