My Love Will Not Let You Down lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

At night I go to bed

But I just can't sleep

I got something runnin' around my head

Ooh, that just won't keep

In the silence I hear my heart beatin'

Time slippin' away

I got a time bomb tickin' deep inside of me

I'm gonna tell you what I wanna say

I keep searchin' for you darlin'

Searchin' everywhere I go

And when I find you

There's gonna be just one thing that you gotta know

One thing you gotta know

My love, love, love, love, love, love

Will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love

Will not let you down

At night I walk the streets

Lookin' for romance

But I always end up stumblin'

In a half trance

I search for a connection

In some new eyes

But they're hard for protection

From too many dreams passed by

I see you standin' across the room

Watchin' me without a sound

I'm gonna push my way through that crowd

I'm gonna tear your holy walls down

Tear all your walls down

My love, love, love, love, love, love

Will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love

Will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love

Will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love

Will not let you down

Well, hold still now, darlin'

Hold still for God's sake

'Cause I got me a promise

I ain't afraid to make

I ain't afraid to make

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

Woo!

My Lover Man lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

You treated me hard and made my heart ache

I know you're only human, and men they make mistakes

Your life with her turned to black

And now you want our love back

Well come into my arms and fall, my lover man

Was it a gypsy's curse or a hex sign

Or was it just that simple thing that led you from these arms of mine

Oh yes, I've had the days

To grow used to your foolish ways

And what is it really, after all, my lover man

I can see the change in your eyes

There's no need to apologize

We stood at the wishing well

Our dreams like coins into the water fell

The water so cold and black

There was no going back

I don't mean to cause you hurt or cause you pain

Life is short and love's a dirty game

Now there's no need for our game to end

Come close and we'll begin

To find our beautiful selves again, my lover man

My lover man

Night Fire lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Now you're running with the right crowd

Well you better watch the friends you're choosin'

Girl you're a walking winner now

You better keep your eye on who's doin' the losin'

All the faces staring down your throat

All the eyes, darling, that are never closed

In your sadness, girl

Maybe there's something that you ought to know

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin'

Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

You're running with the right crowd

Money and the wine are flowin'

You found your place with the right crowd

But you forgot about that storm, that storm that's blowin'

(Dance on)

Let the music play

(Dance on)

Let the night roll to day

(Dance on)

Don't listen to what they say

Just keep movin' to the beat, to the beat, to the big beat

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin'

Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

Will they punch your ticket as you grow old

Do you really get used to being bought and sold

Does that brand new dress keep out the cold

Do your brand new friends help you to keep

Your pretty eyes from seeing what they shouldn't see

The sound of breaking glass and runnin' feet

The sound of breaking glass and runnin' feet

Won't you tell me baby I got to know

Won't you tell me baby I got to know

Won't you tell me baby I got to know

Won't you tell me baby I got to know

Won't you tell me baby I got to know

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin'

Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin'

Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

None But The Brave lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Tonight down on Union Street

I'm thinking back baby to you and me

The way you used to be

Your words come back to me

From passing cars

Voices sing out

And empty bars

Where guitars ring out

We'd walk and talk about

Who'd be the ones to get out

You said

None but the brave

No one baby but the brave

Those strong enough to save

Something from what they gave

None but the brave

No one baby but the brave

In my dreams these nights I see you my friend

The way you looked back then

On a night like this

I know that girl no longer exists

Except for a moment in some stranger's eyes

Or in the nameless girls in cars rushing by

That's where I find you tonight

And in my heart you still survive

None but the brave

No one baby but the brave

Those strong enough to save

Something from the love they gave

None but the brave

No one baby but the brave

Now tonight once more

I search every face on that crowded floor

Looking for, I don't know what for

Just waitin' to see you come walkin' through that door

There's a girl standing by the band

She reminds me of you and I ask her to dance

As the drummer counts away

I take her hand, we move away

Tonight, now I see old friends

Caught in a game they've got no chance to win

Gettin' beat and then playin' again

'Til their strength gives out or their heart gives in

Now who's the man who thinks he can decide

Whose dreams will live and who's shall be pushed aside

Has he ever walked down these streets at night and looked into the eyes of

None but the brave

No one baby but the brave

Those strong enough to save

Something from the love they gave

None but the brave

Over The Rise lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I walk along the levee to see the gypsy man

The dirt 'neath my feet baby's turnin' to quicksand

He looked into my palm, then looked me in the eye

And told me you were gone, gone over the rise

Once we stood together at the wishing well

Our wishes like dreams, baby, into the water fell

Oh then I kissed your lips but when I looked into your eyes

They were gone, gone over the rise

Tonight the blackbirds fly low on the water's edge

Oh we walked this path not knowing where it led

Now at the bottom of the river deep lies something shiny and gold

Is a promise that love couldn't keep same as a promise broken

Well I woke last night to the sound of rain

The wind rustling branches against the window pane

I searched the pillow beside me for the tears we cried

Baby they were gone, gone over the rise

Part Man, Part Monkey lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States

For teaching that man descended from the apes

They coulda settled that case without a fuss or fight

If they'd seen me chasin' you, sugar, through the jungle last night

They'da called in that jury and a one two three said

Part man, part monkey, definitely

Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple

Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil

Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies

Dark and driftin' and unsatisfied

Well hey bartender, tell me whaddaya see

Part man, part monkey, looks like to me

Well the night is dark, the moon is full

The flowers of romance exert their pull

We talk awhile, my fingers slip

I'm hard and crackling like a whip

Well did God make man in a breath of holy fire

Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire

Well the man on the street believes what the bible tells him so

Well you can ask me, mister, because I know

Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see

Part man, part monkey, baby that's me

Party Lights lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I know the girls grow up fast where you come from

You left behind what was asked and you were married, baby, oh so young

Now that little girl of yours looks like she's growing up overnight

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights when you're lying in bed at night

He was gonna be your Romeo, you were going to be his Juliet

These days you don't wait on Romeos, you just wait on that welfare check

While other girls your age are out with lovers taking in the night

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights when you're lying in bed at night

Sometimes I see you on the street and you look so tired

I know that job you've got leaves you so uninspired

When I stop by to take you out to eat

I find you lying, all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep

Then as I lean across the bed, darlin', to switch out the light

I wonder if you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights when you're lying in bed at night

Grab your coat and grab your hat, go in the bathroom put that makeup on

We're gonna take that little brat, we're gonna drop her off at your Mom's

Just give me a sign, I'm waiting on the line tonight

If you miss the party lights

If you miss the party lights

If you miss the party lights when you're lying in bed at night

Do you miss the party lights when you're lying in bed at night

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Pink Cadillac lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

You may think I'm foolish

For the foolish things I do

You may wonder how come I love you

When you get on my nerves like you do

Well baby you know you bug me

There ain't no secret 'bout that

Well come on over here and hug me

Baby I'll spill the facts

Well honey it ain't your money

Cause baby I got plenty of that

I love you for your

Pink Cadillac

Crushed velvet seats

Riding in the back

Oozing down the street

Waving to the girls

Feeling out of sight

Spending all my money

On a Saturday night

Honey I just wonder what you do there in back

Of your pink Cadillac

Pink Cadillac

Well now way back in the Bible

Temptations always come along

There's always somebody tempting

Somebody into doing something they know is wrong

Well they tempt you, man, with silver

And they tempt you, sir, with gold

And they tempt you with the pleasures

That the flesh does surely hold

They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple

But man I ain't going for that

I know it was her

Pink Cadillac

Crushed velvet seats

Riding in the back

Oozing down the street

Waving to the girls

Feeling out of sight

Spending all my money

On a Saturday night

Honey I just wonder what you do there in back

Of your pink Cadillac

Pink Cadillac

Now some folks say it's too big

And uses too much gas

Some folks say it's too old

And that it goes too fast

But my love is bigger than a Honda

It's bigger than a Subaru

Hey man there's only one thing

And one car that will do

Anyway we don't have to drive it

Honey we can park it out in back

And have a party in your

Pink Cadillac

Crushed velvet seats

Riding in the back

Oozing down the street

Waving to the girls

Feeling out of sight

Spending all my money

On a Saturday night

Honey I just wonder what you do there in back

Of your pink Cadillac

Pink Cadillac

Restless Nights lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Once we ran and lived as one

In another world, my little one

Where whispering trees and dark rivers run

I told a dream to you

Now outside the streets are gray

And the childhood games we played

Have faded away

My baby, she has restless nights

(She has restless nights)

My baby, she has restless nights

On late-night movie screens

Young lovers look so sure

Lost in wide-wake dreams

That they can't afford

Once I held you in my arms

On a bed of stone

Now we have grown

My baby, she has restless nights

(She has restless nights)

My baby, she has restless nights

Once we ran and lived as one

In different world, my little one

Where whispering trees and dark rivers run

I told a dream to you

Now I pray, darling, for the night

We'll dance down these darkened halls

Once again to fall

Into a dream

Rhinestone Cowboy lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I've been walkin' these streets so long

Singin' the same old song

I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks

Of Broadway

Where hustle's the name of the game

And nice guys get washed away like the

Snow and the rain

There's been a load of compromisin'

On the road to my horizon

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know

And offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the rain

And a smile can hide all the pain

But you're down when you're ridin' the train

That's takin' the long way

And I dream of the things I'll do

With a subway token and a dollar tucked

Inside my shoe

There'll be a load of compromisin'

On the road to my horizon

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know

And offers comin' over the phone

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Ricky Wants A Man Of Her Own lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Well look out mama, your little girl she has changed

She cut her baby curls and she's got her act rearranged

Well look out daddy, what she needs now she can't find at home

Oh Ricky wants a man of her

She wants a man of her

Ricky wants a man of her own

Mama says her little girl won't talk to her anymore

She just goes in her room, turns on the radio, and shuts the door

She's got her own bathroom, TV, stereo, extension phone

Oh but Mama, Ricky wants a man of her

She wants a man of her

Ricky wants a man of her own

Well daddy says when he drops her off Friday night at the gym

She slides way down in the front seat so the kids won't see her with him

She don't do no work, she won't tell nobody when she's coming home

She makes poor daddy wait down on the corner at midnight all alone

She used to like me to take her to a ball game or a movie show

She used to make daddy take his little girl where she wanna go

Now we're left peeking through the curtains every time that we hear a horn blow

I guess Ricky wants a man of her own

Well my folks say "Son, talk to her, she'll listen to you"

Yeah, she listens real nice and she does what she wants to do

Daddy says she wears her jeans so tight, "Well you change 'em or you're stayin'

Home"

Oh but daddy, Ricky wants a man of her

She wants a man of her

Ricky wants a man of her own

She's almost grown

Ricky wants a man of her

She wants a man of her

Rockaway The Days lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Billy got out of prison but he wasn't right

Some like to drink or gamble, Billy liked to fight

He tracked back to his home state of Maryland

Went to his mom's mobile home where she took him in, alright

Rockaway the days, rockaway the nights

Gimme something to last me, baby, 'til the morning light

I ain't lookin' for trouble, I ain't looking for a fight

Honey rockaway these days, rockaway these nights

Well at a picnic one Sunday Billy met Mary Dove

Mary looked at Billy, Billy fell in love

Billy swore to Mary he'd always love her so

They were married in the valley where the river flows, alright

Rockaway the days, rockaway the nights

Gimme something to last me, baby, 'til the morning light

I ain't lookin' for trouble, I ain't looking for a fight

Honey rockaway these days, rockaway these nights

At a roadside bar Billy argued with a young man

And he settled that argument with a razor in his hand

With blood on his shirt back to Mary he did run

She sighed "Billy, oh Billy, what have you done?"

He ran to his ma's trailer but the lights were dim

He pounded on the door, she wouldn't let him in

Up the road to a neighbor's house he drew near

They said "Billy go away, we don't want no trouble 'round here"

Billy stole a car and headed out on the road

Pocketful of pills and his brain on overload

Seen some lights in his rear-view mirror, panicked and gave her the gun

Wrapped himself 'round a telephone pole way out on 101

Well Billy got cut out by the highway patrol

Just lay there with the cars passing on slow

Sheriff told Billy's ma that Billy died

She buried his body by the riverside, alright

Rockaway the days, rockaway the nights

Gimme something to last me, baby, 'til the morning light

I ain't lookin' for trouble, I ain't looking for a fight

Honey rockaway these days, rockaway these nights

Well rich man want the power and the seat on the top

Poor man want the money that the rich man got

Honey tonight I'm feeling so tired and unsure

Come on in Mary, shut the light, close the door

Roulette lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

We left the toys out in the yard

I took my wife and kids and left my home unguarded

We packed what we could into the car

No one here knows how it started

Suddenly everything was just so out of control

Now I want some answers, mister, I need to know

I hear all the talk but I don't know what you're sayin'

But I think I got a good idea of the game that you're playin'

Roulette, that's the name

Roulette, that's the game now

Roulette, I don't know what they're sayin'

Roulette, everybody's playin'

I grew up here on this street

Where nothin' moves, just a strange breeze

In a town full of worthless memories

There's a shadow in my backyard

I've got a house full of things that I can't touch

Well all those things won't do me much good now

I was a fireman out at Riker's, I did my job

Mister, I've been cheated, I feel like I've been robbed

I'm the big expendable, my life's just canceled null and void

Well what you gonna do about your new boy

Roulette, you're playin' with my life

Roulette, with my kids and my wife

Roulette, every day the stakes get bigger

Roulette, a different finger on the trigger

Down by the river that talks

The night speaks in searchlights

And shortwave radios squawk

The police patrol the streets

But I've left behind the man I used to be

Everything he believed and all that belonged to me

I tried to find my way out to somewhere where I thought it'd be safe

They stopped me at the roadblock they put up on the interstate

They put me in detention but I broke loose and then I ran

They said they want to ask me a few questions but I think they had other plans

Now I don't know who to trust and I don't know what I can believe

They say they want to help me but with the stuff they keep on sayin'

I think those guys just wanna keep on playin'

Roulette, with my life

Roulette, with my kids and my wife

Roulette, the bullet's in the chamber

Roulette, who's the unlucky stranger

Roulette, surprise, you're dead

Roulette, the gun's to your head

Roulette, the bullet's spinning in the chamber

Roulette, pull the trigger, feel the click

No further danger

Santa Ana lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

From the tin rooftop the little boy did watch

The procession down through town

Through the museum where Daniel whupped the Devil

With them boys from the underground

Where the Giants of Science fight for tight control

Over the wildlands of New Mexico

Sam Houston's ghost's in Texas fighting for his soul

And the townsfolk rest uneasy beneath the guns of Kid Cole

And the kid says: "Hey, where's Santa Ana

He who could romance the dumb into talking

Take a chance with me tonight, my contessa

If it don't work out I ain't lame, I can walk"

Now some folks think cancer's taken to the streets of this town

But Sandy eats her candy and then lays her money down

Them cats are in from the canyons to strut their stuff in town

But there's only secret sinners here

Lord, there's only secret thieves

Only a fool would try to save

What the desert chose to leave

And hey there senorita

With your playboys in their Spanish bandanas

French cream won't soften those boots, baby

French kisses will not break your heart

Oh painted night set free with light

Glows outside the Rainbow Saloon

Matching braces with a Spanish lady

'Neath a graduation moon

No more colleges, no more coronations

Some punk's idea of a teenage nation

Has forced Santa Ana to change his station

From soldier to cartoon

And the Giants of Science spend their days and nights

Not with wives, not with lovers, but searchin' for the lights

They spotted in the desert on their helicopter flights

Just to be lost in the dust and the night

Hey my Contessa, in your juke joint rags you always bring candy for the kids

Come waltz with me tonight senorita

Seaside Bar Song lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Well, Billy bought a Chevy '40 coupe deluxe

Chrome wheels, stick shift, give her gas, pop the clutch

Girls on the corner, like a diamond they shine

Someday, Billy, I'm gonna make 'em all mine

Hey girl, you wanna ride in Daddy's Cadillac?

Cause I love the way your long hair falls down your back

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley's at the Seaside Bar

We'll run barefoot in the sand, listen to his guitar

You say your mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes

And your papa's gonna beat you cause he knows you're out on the run

I'm gonna live a life of love and tonight you're the one

The highway is alive tonight so baby do not be frightened

There's something about a pretty girl on a sweet summer night

That gets this boy excited

The radioman finally understands and plays you something you can move to

You lay back, cut loose your drive power

Your girl leans over and says, "Daddy, can you turn that radio up any louder?"

The juke joint's hummin', everybody came down

Little Willie and his Soul Brooms laying all this stuff now

Well don't let that daylight steal your soul

Get in your wheels and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll

Oh that's all right now

Oh go on, go on, go on

Oh mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes

And your daddy's gonna beat you cause he knows you're out on the run

But I don't care, I wanna live a life of love while the night's still young
