Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town lyrics

[Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town lyrics]

Well 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 'neath Abram's Bridge and 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, son
Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives
Trying to keep it
They carry it with them every
Step that they take

Till some day 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

Some folks are born into a good life
And other folks get it anyway, anyhow
Well then 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 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
