Bruce Springsteen - Living on the Edge of the World lyrics

Early North Jersey industrial skyline
I'm an all-set cobra jet
Creepin' the night time
Gotta find a gas station
Gotta find a pay phone
This turnpike sure is spooky at
Night when you're all alone

I'm living on the edge of the world
Tryin' to get my girl on the line
Livin' on the edge of the world
But I think I'm just wasting of my time
Some jerk keeps breaking my connection, girl
'Cause I'm living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge of the world

Radio, radio, hear the tale of heartbreak
Jersey in the morning like a lunar landscape
Got a counter girl at the Exit 24 HoJo
Down past the refinery towers where
The great black river flows

I'm living on the edge of the world
Tryin' to get back to you, girl
I'm living on the edge of the world
Tryin' to get a message through
I gotta make a connection, girl
Because I'm living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge of the world

Radio's jammed with gospel stations
Lost souls callin' long distance salvation
Hey mister deejay, gotta hear my last prayer
It's a hey ho rock and roll
Deliver me from nowhere

I'm living on the edge of the world
Tryin' to get back to you, girl
Living on the edge of the world
Tryin' to get a message through
I gotta make some connection, girl
Because I'm living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge
I gotta make some connection, girl
Because I'm living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge of the world

Now my boss don't dig me 'cause he
Put me on the night shift
It takes me two hours to get
Back to where my baby lives
In the wee wee hours, my mind gets hazy
Relay towers, won't you lead me to my baby?
'Neath the overpass
The trooper hit's his party lights switch
Good night, good luck, one, two, powershift!

Living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge of the world
Living on the edge of the world
