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

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

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 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 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 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

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

Seven Angels lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Seven angels got my number

Since I fell in love with you

Seven angels got my number

They're all telling me what to do

First angel says "Go on and love her"

Second angels says "Ain't you tired of being alone?"

Third angel says "Do the right thing, me."

Fourth angels says "Check that other little angel walkin' on down the street"

Seven angels got my number

Since I fell in love with you

Seven angels got my number

They're all telling me what to do

Fifth angels says "Don't worry

Love's waitin' 'round the corner for you, son"

Sixth angel says "You better hurry

It don't take long for the good to get gone"

Walkin' on wings all sexy and blue

Seventh angel says I'm a fool

I got seven angels calling on my pride

Seven devils crawling around inside

Seven angels tellin' me which way to turn

One kiss and my soul wanna burn

Seven angels got my number

Since I fell in love with you

Seven angels got my number

They're all telling me what to do

The earth's so lonely, sad and blue

And without love, your soul's dyin'

Sixth angel says to believe you

When you say you'll never leave me cryin'

Shut Out The Light lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

The runway rushed up at him as he felt the wheels touch down

He stood out on the blacktop and took a taxi into town

He got out down on Main Street and went into a local bar

He bought a drink and found a seat in a corner off the dark

Well she called up her mama to make sure the kids were out of the house

She checked herself out in the dining room mirror

And undid an extra button on her blouse

He felt her lying next to him, the clock said 4 AM

He was staring at the ceiling

He couldn't move his hands

Oh mama mama mama come quick

I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Well on his porch they stretched a banner that said "Johnny Welcome Home"

Bobby pulled his Ford out of the garage and they polished up the chrome

His mama said "Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to have you back with me"

His pa said he was sure they'd give him his job back down at the factory

Oh mama mama mama come quick

I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain

Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name

In the cold black water Johnson Lineir stands

He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where he's been

So Young And In Love lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

There's flying angels on your fire escape

They lie to your mama for you, try to keep you safe

You're with them fire alley virgins on a midnight vamp

Lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp

You lost your mind

She's sent from above

We're so young and in love

So young and in love

Rat traps filled with soul crusaders

They're soppin' 'n' boppin' 'n' moppin' with Little Melvin and the Invaders

Missy's on the dance floor doin' her stuff

Leroy's dancin' doin' the continental strut

Sent from above

So young and in love

Everybody's reelin' when the bands hits the ceilin'

Don't you know you wanna go

The kids start rockin' when the boys start knockin'

And everybody wants to go

Let's go!

Joint's shut down but you don't wanna go home

You're in the shady side of town and you're all alone

Papa's chewin' your ear off, you ain't got no cash

Mama's chewin' your ear off 'bout hangin'out

With thrash

So fine, sent from above

So young and in love

Stand On It lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Well Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn of a funky southern Florida dirt track

He had mud caked on his goggles and a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back

Well as he passed the stands he was feelin' all tuckered out,

When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout

"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"

Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift but she just couldn't get a hand on it

Racin' some Red Hill boys, she had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it

With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line

She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39

He hollered "Stand on it, go 'head baby, stand on it"

Well now when in doubt and you can't figure it out

Just stand on it

Well, if your mind's confused, you don't know what you're gonna do

Well buddy, stand on it

Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand

Go grab a girl; go see a rock and roll band

And stand on it

Come on man, stand on it

Well now Columbus he discovered America even though he hadn't planned on it

He got lost and woke up one morning when he's about to land on it

He wouldn't of got out of Italy, man that's for sure,

Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore

Shouting "Stand on it, go ahead man, stand on it"

Well now when in doubt and you can't figure it out

Just stand on it

Well, if your mind's confused, you don't know what you're gonna do

Well buddy, stand on it

Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand

Go grab a girl; go see a rock and roll band

And stand on it

Come on man, stand on it

Bobby was leadin' the pack, he settled back and he got ready for the long haul

Well fifty yards from the finish line somebody roared up and they blew him into the wall

Well he rolled over twice, lucky to survive

Layin' in the back of the ambulance more dead than alive

Somebody shouted "Man, you call that drivin'?

Why didn't you stand on it"

Stray Bullet lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

In the tall grass we held hands

Down by the river we made plans

Of what would and would not be

It was impossible to see

Their black boots shone in the sun

They were waiting on the Annandale train when my baby come

Little girl with the long black hair

Do you know what lies 'neath the long coats that they wear

Once I swore you'd ride with me (to some far and distant shore)

Down where this river meets the sea (I'll make you mine forevermore)

Over these dark hills I'd walk along (just to hold you in my arms)

To lie with you on a bed of stone

River blood red with the years

You can flood this valley with a thousand tears

Wash away all that's been found

But you'll never wash away the sound

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down, (stray bullet shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down

Take 'Em As They Come lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands

Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck

(I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands)

And down the highway another stranger comes

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come

Little girl put on your red dress

Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight

(Better bring along a switchblade)

'Cause, for sure, some fool's gonna wanna fight

You've got to take 'em, baby, as they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

God save the rider in the black night

Save the man who taught that it was right

(To do what they have done, girl)

To become what we have become

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come

Little girl, gone are the days

Faded away into the clear blue night

(And all the vows that we made)

Lie shattered and broken in the morning light

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

I know your heart is breakin'

I can feel it too, girl

Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'

Here I swear to you, girl

If I could take all your sorrow so that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue

(Come tomorrow)

That's what I'd do for you, pretty one

I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

That's What Makes Us Great lyrics - Bruce Springsteen (feat. Joe Grushecky)

They come from everywhere

A longing to be free

They come to join us here

From sea to shining sea

And they all have a dream

As people always will

To be safe and warm

In that shining city on the hill

Some wanna slam the door

Instead of opening the gate

Aw, let's turn this thing around

Before it gets too late

It's up to me and you

Love can conquer hate

I know this to be true

That's what makes us great

Don't tell me a lie

And sell it as a fact

I've been down that road before

And I ain't goin' back

And don't you brag to me

That you never read a book

I never put my faith

In a con man and his crooks

I won't follow down that path

And tempt the hands of fate

Aw, let's turn this thing around

Before it gets too late

It's up to me and you

Love can conquer hate

I know this to be true

That's what makes us great

In the quiet of the night

I lie here wide awake

And I ask myself

Is there a difference I can make?

It's up to me and you

Love can conquer hate

I know this to be true

That's what makes us great

The Big Payback lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack

Out in the sun, by the railroad track

I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back

Workin' and workin' for the big payback

I keep a puttin' and a puttin' out

I keep a sweatin' like all get out

I work so long that I'm a losin' track

Waitin', waitin' on the big payback

Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam

It's a gone dead train rumblin' down this track

They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin' long in back

Chasin' and chasin' the big payback

Oh what my foreman does well I don't know

He just throws me a shovel and yells "Go, Bobby, Go"

Oh well – a all day long he's just a diddy wack wack

While I'm sweatin' and sweatin' the big payback

Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam

It's a gone dead train rumblin' down this track

They got your neck in the noose, you're hands are tied up in back

Chasin' and chasin' the big payback

I quit that job, and Mister I ain't goin' back

Got me a knife and she's a long and black

I'll tell you how I make my piece at night Mac

Down in the alley of the big payback

I go a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, c'mon man

You're a gone dead train rumblin' down this track

I got your neck in the noose and I don't give a damn, Jack

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

The Honeymooners lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Two kids get married, same old thing

Folks congratulate you, church bells ring

Who's got the ring, who's gonna pay the priest

Get your mama in the paper, picture or two at least

And at the reception all the old records play

"Where you gonna live, are you gonna taker her away?"

In a corner my new nephew's showin' me his knife

You swore that you'd love her for the rest of your life

Went to kiss you at the altar we bumped heads

Honeymoon night we figured we best shake on it instead

Dressed kinda funny, laughin' we hop in bed

You can swear it on your feet, you can swear it on your head

Come mornin' my new family's sitting on the front porch swing

Smilin' kinda funny, nobody says a thing

My new brother-in-law's throwin' a football, he tosses me a pass

The Man Who Got Away lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Last night I went to the Coronado

I bought my ticket and I found my seat

It was a new adventure straight from Hollywood

Lights went down as I felt the heat

They went tearing from the final scene

Burning rubber, spilling gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Every night for weeks and weeks now

I beat the traffic, I beat the heat now

For two hours I can believe

The man who got away was me

I went tearing from the final scene

Burning rubber, spilling gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Drove into Stockton, my radio went dead

That's when I heard what the newsman said

Said: "armed robbery on the ten-hundred block

Was two men involved and one man shot

While his accomplice made the payday

With a .45 he blew the cashier away

Last seen headed on the State Highway

Driving a late model Chevrolet"

I went screaming from the final scene

In a hail of bullets and flaming gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Man who got away

The Time That Never Was lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Sometimes I wake up in the morning

And it cuts me like a knife

I come face-to-face with my longing

For another world, another life

And a time that never was

Oh, a time that never was

We drove on, fueled not by the future

But by a past we could never touch

Forced to run head-on collisions

'Til we vanished in the dust

Of a time that never was

The time that never was

So kiss me once more, baby

One more kiss, baby, you must

Don't ever let me forget, girl

A time that never was

The time that never was

Oh, the time that never was

A time that never was

The Wish lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and snow

Little boy and his ma shivering outside a rundown music store window

That night on top of a Christmas tree shines one beautiful star

And lying underneath a brand-new Japanese guitar

I remember in the morning, ma, hearing your alarm clock ring

I'd lie in bed and listen to you gettin' ready for work

The sound of your makeup case on the sink

And the ladies at the office, all lipstick, perfume and rustlin' skirts

And how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work

If pa's eyes were windows into a world so deadly and true

You couldn't stop me from looking but you kept me from crawlin' through

And if it's a funny old world, mama, where a little boy's wishes come true

Well I got a few left in my pocket and a special one just for you

It ain't no phone call on Sunday, flowers or a Mother's Day card

It ain't no house on a hill with a garden and a nice little yard

I got my hot rod down on Bond Street, I'm older but you'll know me in a glance

We'll find us a little rock 'n roll bar and baby we'll go out and dance

Well it was me in my Beatle boots, you in pink curlers and matador pants

Pullin' me up off the couch to do the twist for my uncles and aunts

Well I found a girl of my own now, ma, I popped the question on your birthday

She stood waiting on the front porch while you were telling me to get out there

And say what it was that I had to say

Last night we all sat around laughing at the things that guitar bought us

And I laid awake thinking 'bout the other things it's brought us

Well tonight I'm takin' requests here in the kitchen

This one's for you, ma, let me come right out and say it

It's overdue, but baby, if you're looking for a sad song, well I ain't gonna play it

This Hard Land lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown

Can you give me a reason sir as to why they've never grown

They've just blown around from town to town

Till they're back out on these fields

Where they fall from my hand

Back into the dirt of this hard land

Now me and my sister

From Germantown we did ride

We made our bed, sir

From the rock on the mountainside

We been blowin' around from town to town

Looking for a place to stand

Where the sun burst through the cloud to fall like a circle

Like a circle of fire down on this hard land

Now even the rain it don't come 'round

It don't come 'round here no more

And the only sound at night's the wind

Slammin' the back porch door

It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down

Twistin' and churnin' up the sand

Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down

Face-down in the dirt of this hard land

From a building up on the hill

I can hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range"

I can see them Bar-M choppers sweepin' low across the plains

It's me and you Frank we're lookin' for lost cattle

Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand

We're ridin' in the whirlwind searchin' for lost treasure

Way down south of the Rio Grande

We're ridin' cross that river in the moonlight

Up onto the banks of this hard land

Hey Frank, won't ya pack your bags

And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall

Just one kiss from you my brother and we'll ride until we fall

Well sleep in the fields, we'll sleep by the rivers

And in the morning we'll make a plan

Well, if you can't make it

Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive

If you can

And meet me in a dream of this hard land

Thundercrack lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake

Whoa, she's an angel from the Innerlake

Thundercrack, baby's back

This time she'll tell me how she really feels

Bring me down to her lightning shack

You can watch my partner reelin'

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina

She's straight from the Bronx

Hung off the line

She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds

Even them dance hall hacks

From the west side of the tracks

Move in close to catch her timin'

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina

She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls

Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either

Round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter

She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright

Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner, 'til the dawn

Thundercrack, baby's back

This time she'll tell me how she really feels

Bring me down to her lightning shack

You can watch my partner reelin'

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina

She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls

Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either

Round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter

She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright

Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner, all night

Trapped lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Seems like I'm caught up in your trap again

Seems like I'll be wearing the same old chains

Good will conquer evil and the truth will set me free

And I know someday I will find the key

I know somewhere I will find the key

Seems like I've been playing your game way too long

Seems the game I've played has made you strong

When the game is over I won't walk out the loser

I know I'll walk out of here again

I know someday I'll walk out of here again

Well now I'm trapped

Ooh yeah

Seems like I've been sleeping in your bed too long

Seems like you've been meaning to do me harm

But I'll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me

Someday I'll walk out of here again

Well now I'm trapped

Ooh yeah

Seems like I've been playing your game way too long

Seems the game I've played has made you strong

Well now I'm trapped

Ooh yeah

Trouble In Paradise lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

You do the drying, I'll do the dishes

Who'll do the crying

When all the wishes don't come true

You do the washing, I'll do the folding

Whose heart is breaking

When whose arms are holding someone new

Sittin' on a peaceful lake sunnin'

Didn't hear the roar of the waterfall coming

When it's all a storybook story

When it's all so easy and nice

Here comes trouble in paradise

You did the dusting, I did the sweeping

You did the driving oh and I did the sleeping a little too long

On a picnic 'neath the sky so blue

We didn't see the rain and heartache coming through

When it's all an old black and white movie

And you're sure you've seen the ending twice

Here comes trouble in paradise

You said everything was fine

I'm sorry, baby, I didn't see the signs

Oh so beautifully you read your lines

But in a play where the hero has no vice

And love comes without a price

So does trouble in paradise

Don't matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping

Who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it's all gone

Laying in a field on a summer's day

Waitin' for those gray skies to clear away

Knowing all love's glory and beauty

Can vanish before you think twice

Leaving trouble in paradise

Now we share the laughing, we share the joking

We do the sleeping with one eye open

TV Movie lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I woke up last night shaking from a dream

For in that dream I died

My wife rolled over and told me

That my life would be immortalized

Not in some major motion picture

Or great American novel, you see

No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well now, it's one two three you take the money

Yeah it's as easy as A B C

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well they can change my name or they can leave it

They can change my story too

Or they can make me black or Chinese

And do things that I never do

They're gonna give my life a whole new ending

And put me in prime time first-run

And when it's over, what I did there will be what I done

Now I don't want my name in a history book

Nobody's ever gonna see

No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well now, it's one two three you take the money

Yeah it's as easy as A B C

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well I'm a shoe-in for sponsor

Goodyear blimp and radial wheels

Somebody had a meeting somewhere

Somehow somebody made a deal

Well I was one of them kinds of stories

That everybody liked to see

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Now I don't want no inscription on my gravestone

No long soliloquy

No they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well now, it's one two three you take the money

Yeah it's as easy as A B C

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Two For The Road lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

It's one for the money and one for the show

I got one kiss for you honey so come on let's go

I didn't see it coming but girl now I know

It takes one for the running but two for the road

One thousand dreams whispered in the dark

But a dream's just a dream in one empty heart

It takes more than one to rev it up and go

So let's get it running, we're two for the road

Two one-way tickets and a diamond ring

Hell it don't matter what the rain might bring

When this world treats you hard and cold

I'll stand beside you, we're two for the road

When you're alone my love'll shine the light

Through the dark and starless night

I'll hold you close and never let you go

C'mon now girl 'cause we're two for the road

Well it's two to get ready, babe, c'mon let's go

Me and you, girl, we're two for the road

Viva Las Vegas lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

(originally by Elvis Presley)

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Gonna set my soul on fire

I've got a whole lot a money just ready to burn

So get those stakes up higher

There's a thousand pretty women just a-waitin' out there

They're all livin Devil may care

And I'm just the Devil with love to spare

Viva Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more

Than 24 hours in a day

But even if there were 40 more

I wouldn't sleep a minute away

There's Blackjack, Poker and the Roulette Wheel

A fortune won and lost on every deal

All you need is money and nerves of steel

Viva Las Vegas

Well, Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing and

Your one-armed bandits crashing

All your hopes down the drain

Well, Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time

Turnin 'night into day time

If you've seen it once you'll never be the same again

I'm gonna keep on the run

I'm gonna have me some fun

If it costs me my very last dime

If I wind up broke, well, I'll always remember

That I had me a swinging time

I'm gonna give it every thing I got

Lady Luck won't you let the dice stay hot

Let me shoot a seven with every shot

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Viva

Las Vegas

Busted

Wages Of Sin lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

When we fight and I wanna talk it out

You won't say nothing, nothing at all

You just sit there, you won't open that pretty mouth

I think you like keeping my back up against the wall

Wages of sin, you keep me paying

Wages of sin for wrongs that I've done

Wages of sin, you keep me paying

Wages of sin, one by one

I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place

You're crouched in the corner with makeup running down your face

I don't wanna believe what my heart keeps saying

You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying

Wages of sin, we keep paying

Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done

Wages of sin, we keep paying

Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun

I remember when I was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tall

Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls

Baby all the sounds I heard, even if they weren't real

I was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels

I tried so hard, so hard in every way

Swore someday I'd grow up, just throw it all away

Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry

Stomached all my fears 'til they came rushin' up inside

Darlin' I'm losin' and it's a mean game

Still I play on just the same

Wages of sin, I keep paying

Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done

Wages of sin, well I keep paying

Wages of sin, one by one

When The Lights Go Out lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Now you say you have a friend, you trust him with your life

You trust him with your money, you trust him with your kids

You'd even trust him with your wife

You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town

Well now the world is dark and funny, better listen up to what I say

You ain't gonna know what's going on by what you see in the light of day

You gotta watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out in this dirty little town

Now you swear that she trusted you

Within reason I understand

But you kept slippin' in late at night

And in the mornin' you had that smell on your hands

Well now the world is turning, Rome is burning

Me, I'm watching and I'm learning

They say sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock

The lord's light'll shine under every slimy rock

Well last night I slept the sleep of fear

And I heard God's voice whisper in my ear

He said you better watch what's going on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town

When You Need Me lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

When you need me call my name

'Cause without you my life just wouldn't be the same

If you want me come sunny skies or rain

When you need me just call my name

If you miss me, I'll be there

To brush the sunlight from your hair

I'll be there to guide you when trouble walks beside you

If you need me I'll be there

And when this dirty world has been cold to you

I got two strong arms waitin' to hold you

And when those mean days come along

We'll stand together and we'll take 'em on

So if you need me just call my name

When you need me call my name

'Cause without you my life just isn't the same

'Cause when this world kicked me around

You picked me up off the ground

So if you need me I'll be there

When you need me call my name

'Cause without you my life just wouldn't be the same

If you want me come sunny skies or rain

When you need me just call my name

Where The Bands Are lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I hear the guitars ringin' out

Ringin' out down Union Street

I hear the lead singer shoutin' out girl

I wanna be a slave to the beat

Yeah tonight I wanna break my chains

Somebody break my heart

Somebody shake my brains

Downtown there's something that I wanna hear

There's a sound little girl keeps ringin' in my ear

I wanna be where the bands are

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

I get off from work and I grab something to eat

I turn the corner and I drive down your street

Little gray houses, darling, looks like nowhere

But hey I know you're hidin' in there

Come on out for just a little while

You know that heart of stone girl it just ain't your style

Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd

And when I tell you that I love you

I wanna have to shout it out loud

Shout it out loud

I wanna be where the bands are

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

I hear the guitars ringin' out again

Ringin' on down Union Street

I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl

I wanna be a slave to the beat

And I want something that'll break my chains

Something to break my heart

Something to break my chains

There's a rocker's special on tonight

So meet me on down

'Neath the neon lights

I wanna be where the bands are

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

Whitetown lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Mary Ann on the avenue

Girl all dressed up in Kensington blue

Down where the hammer falls

She's born and bred within Whitetown walls

Each and every day slowly passes away

From a passing car she hears the music play

Beneath the "El" she starts to sway

Down in Whitetown

Johnny's trying to make his way

He's got a job, mister it don't pay

He sits and counts the scars

On a stool down the end of a Whitetown bar

And the old men here piss their lives away

Drinking and joking about their cop-fighting days

Ain't no answers here, just the past and fear

Of spending the rest of your days

Down in Whitetown

In a dream salvation comes with a beat

Or the sound of breaking glass and running feet

The beat that echoes down through the streets

Mary Ann dances on

Down in Whitetown

Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Without You lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Monday, I go to work

Tuesday, can't find my shirt

Wednesday, I'm feeling blue

I'm helpless, darling

Without you

Thursday, everything's fine

Friday, I'm out of my mind

Saturday, Sunday too

It's hopeless, darling

Without you

Each and every night of the week

I toss and turn in my sleep

Worrying if you're all right

Wondering where you are tonight

Monday, I go to work

Tuesday, can't find my shirt

Wednesday, I'm feeling blue

I'm helpless, darling

Without you

Each and every night of the week

I toss and turn in my sleep

Worrying if you're all right

Wondering where you are tonight

Monday, I go to work

Tuesday, I can't find my shirt

Wednesday, I'm feeling blue

I'm helpless, darling

Without you

Thursday, everything's fine

Friday, I'm out of my mind

Saturday, Sunday too

I'm without you

Without you

Zero And Blind Terry lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

The Skulls met the Pythons

Down at the First Street station

Alliances have been made in alleyways

All across the nation

These boys live off the milk of a silver jet

And the love of sweet young women

Now the Pythons are down from old English town

And they're looking to do some livin'

Well the leader of the Pythons

Is a kid they just call Zero

Now Terry's pop says these kids are some kind of monsters

But Terry says "No, pop, they're just plain heroes"

Zero and Terry they found a love that burns like wildfire

Now Terry's daddy understood that this Zero was no good

A child, a thief and a liar

Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn

Zero rode like twilight

He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry, come on"

Terry come on, tonight is the night

Pack your bags, baby

And together they ran like reindeer through the street

Like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch on fire

Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home

They crawled up in the night

Like firelight

Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime

Rode silver foxes through Terry's field

Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9 but they refused to yield

The Pythons fought with buzz guns

And the troopers with swords like light

And Zero and Terry they ran away

And the gang fought all through the night

Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away

Other said they were caught and brought back

But still young pilgrims to this day

Go to that spot way down by the railroad track

Where the Troopers met the Pythons

Old timers cry on a hot August night

If you look hard enough, if you try

You'll catch Zero and Terry and all the Pythons

Oh just hiking them streets of the sky

Just walkin', hiking the streets of the sky

Just hiking the streets of the sky

Hey Zero

"Wrecking Ball" (2012)

We Take Care Of Our Own Lyrics – Bruce Springsteen

I been knocking on the door that holds the throne
I been looking for the map that leads me home
I been stumbling on good hearts turned to stone
The road of good intentions has gone dry as bone
We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own

From Chicago to New Orleans
From the muscle to the bone
From the shotgun shack to the Super Dome
There ain't no help, the Cavalry stayed home
There ain't no one hearing the bugle blowin'
We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own

Where're the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
Where're the hearts, that run over with mercy
Where's the love that has not forsaken me
Where's the work that'll set my hands, my soul free
Where's the spirit that'll reign rain over me
Where's the promise from sea to shining sea
Where's the promise from sea to shining sea
Wherever this flag is flown
Wherever this flag is flown
Wherever this flag is flown

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own
We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own

album: "The Promise" (2010)

Racing In The Street Lyrics – Bruce Springsteen

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racing in the street

We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the north east state
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racing in the street

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world, we're going racing in the street

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands

Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For racing in the street

Gotta Get That Feeling Lyrics – Bruce Springsteen

Yeah girl, now won't you come on out tonight
Little girl, now where the stars will shine real bright
Yeah I gotta get that feeling
Yeah I wanna get that feeling
Whoa back again
Yeah back again

Tonight, yeah there's something here in the air
Tonight, I ain't got money but I don't care
I gotta get that feeling
Yeah I wanna get that feeling
And before the night is through
You gonna get that feeling too

Hold me in your arms and baby take everything
Let the light shine, and if we dare to be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da

Tonight, well there's something in the air
And tonight, yeah we ain't got money but I don't care

Outside Looking In Lyrics – Bruce Springsteen

It's over now, the thing we had
I ain't sorry, babe, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
Night after night you wrote the lines

My life's the same story
Again and again
I' m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in

Hey, make-believe ain't real
I don't doubt the way I feel
You walk real pretty and you talk real sweet
Well babe I was born in the driving seat

My life's the same story
Again and again
I'm on the outside looking in

On the outside looking in
Yes I'm on the outside looking in

It's over now, the thing we had
I ain't sorry, babe, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
Night after night you wrote the lines

My life's the same story
Beginning to end
Beginning to end
I' m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
Yes I'm on the outside looking in
Yes I am
Yes I guess I am
Baby I'm on the outside looking in

Someday (We'll Be Together) lyrics - bruce springsteen

Your voice comes calling through the mist
I awake from a dream and my heart begins to drift
Tonight we're on our own
Tonight we're all alone
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday we'll be together
Together

I can't sleep so I lay awake listenin' to the sounds of the city below
I get dressed and walk the streets but I got nowhere to go
Tonight it's you I miss
Tonight my only wish is
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine

Tonight we're on our own
Tonight we're all alone
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine
Woah-whoaaa
Someday you'll be mine
Woah-whoaaa (this love will last forever)
Someday you'll be mine
(Someday we'll be together)
(The night will fall around us)
(This love will last forever)
(Someday you'll be mine)
(Someday we'll be together)

One Way Street lyrics - bruce springsteen

If the sun should fall from the skytomorrow
If the rain brings the tears to your eye, I would share your sorrow
But you must go if you can't take the heat, our love was fine, our love was sweet
But we was walkin' on the wildside, runnin' down a one way street

Well I'm not with all those guys, who rode out in your eyes
Sometimes, ya sometimes, I can't forget your lines
But hold the train, just come today, and for your wrong, well you must pay
And we're walkin' on the wildside, runnin' down a one way street

If I'm old my darlin' eye, I must confess
That this can't be love, no I must be a man possessed
When I look in your eyes so bright, your walkin' and your dress fits you just right
But we were walkin' on a dead end, runnin' down a one way street

Well their's a man, could change the things, he feels inside
If for once I, could turn and make it swallow some of my pride
But for the wrongs, oh yes we must pay, so its bye bye baby today
And we'll go walkin' on that wildside, runnin' down a one way street

Yeah when I think, of all the girls, that I have I missed
Well I know I, would give them up, for just one kiss
That's nn..we, we are the same kind, and to leave you baby, I have to go blind
Oh when we're walkin' on the wildside, runnin' down a one way street
Oh oh yes we are, we'll keep walkin' on that badside, runnin' down that one way street
Ohh yes we will, we'll keep walkin' on that badside, runnin' down a one way street

One Way Street lyrics - bruce springsteen

Because The Night lyrics - bruce springsteen

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try an understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Break my back till the mornin' comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

What I got I have earned
What I'm not I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

Because the night...

Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt you now

Wrong Side Of The Street lyrics - bruce springsteen

Ah-One, two, three, four

Girl on the edge flippin' off the lamp
There'll be an end, darling, to your endless night
On the other side of the street
Yeah, light on portrait and the light in your face
And you'll be looking for another pretty place
Baby, this side of the street

Well, keep dreaming baby that your desire brings and girl
I know the sadness that you find in things, it's true
If you can't take the heat, what can I do?

Well, you and your poetry and your cuckoo world
Behind your face hides the face of a modern girl
Yeah, on the other side of the street
Yeah, you've got the look as if you own the world
Therefore, you go out there and they say that you can earn
Baby, on this side of the street

Well, you're tired of everyday bringing the same and so you
Go out looking for some strange new games
Well pretty soon you don't know the score anymore
All right!

[guitar solo]

Oh, I know you danger that your desire brings
And I know the strangeness that you'll find
Waiting and you'll see straighter then for you and for me
Yeah
Well turn on the end and baby turn off the lamps
There'll be an end, darling, to your endless night
On the wrong side of the street

Yeah and everyday, well, it just brings the same
You started looking for some other strange new game
On the wrong side of the street
Well, your desires for your sweet confusion
I'll walk away then, I don't buy your delusions
I'll see, open your eyes and see, girl
All right

The Brokenhearted lyrics - bruce springsteen

Well darling, oh won't you come a little closer
I promise pretty darling, I didn't know what I was saying
And now I'm praying that you won't say it's over
Come here pretty baby and rest your head upon my shoulder
Just one kiss and we started
Now don't leave me to the brokenhearted, the brokenhearted, the brokenhearted
And tell me that you need me

Well now baby, the lonely nights keep growing longer
And my love for you just keeps growing stronger
Like a wheel of chance so endlessly turning
My fate lay in your hands, my heart forever burning
In a sweet fire your kiss started
Now don't leave me to the brokenhearted, the brokenhearted, the brokenhearted
And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you want me, girl

The cruel mistakes I've made, the hard price that I've paid
For the good times and for laughter
Girl, I should've known for the indifference that I've shown
I'd pay forever after

And darling, now all I'm trying to say is passion
And love, they have a way of slipping into blackness
Uncared for of slipping away
The deck is cut, the cards turned, the hand is played
And all we ever hope for burns to ashes and drifts away
Now don't let our love slip into this darkness
Don't leave me to the brokenhearted, the brokenhearted, the brokenhearted
And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love me
Yeah tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you want me
And come on now daring
Say it right now baby
Say it right now darling
Tell me that you love me
[Fades Out]

Rendezvous lyrics - bruce springsteen

I had a dream our love would last forever
I had a dream tonight my dream comes true
And if you'll hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, I want a rendezvous

Haven't I told you, girl, how much I like you
I got a feeling that you like me too
Well if you hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, I want a rendezvous

You deserve so much more than this, girl
Well I'm riding on the power and livin' on the promise in your last kiss

Because I had a dream our love would last forever
I had a dream tonight my dream comes true
And if you'll hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, ooh, rendezvous
I want a rendezvous
I want a rendezvous

Candy's Boy lyrics - bruce springsteen

In Candy's room, there are pictures of her saviour on the wall
But to get to Candy's room, you 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 Candy's boy

Well in the olden days when the Mongolian gangs rode herd out on route nine
We 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 I got a cold winter wind blowin' behind me and you
But Candy's got a man who takes care of her better than I do
Alright

Well there's machine and fire, waitin' for us on the edge of town*
And there's some boys for hire, and there waitin' to blow me and Candy down
That's all right cause they can't touch us now baby you'll see
Cause you know I
But I know her name, and I will forever be Candy's boy...
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm ever, forever be Candy's boy
Alright

Save My Love lyrics - bruce springsteen

Now there's something coming through the air that softly reminds me
Tonight I'll park out on the hill and wait until they find me
You're slipping through the ether, a voice is coming through
So keep me in your heart tonight and I'll save my love for you

So turn up your radio and darling dial me in close
We're riding on the airwaves and we're travelling coast to coast
Over river and highway your voice comes clear and true
Though we're far apart tonight, I'll save my love for you

Hold me in your arms and our doubts won't break us
If we open up our hearts, love won't forsake us
Just let the music take us and carry us home

There's a prayer coming through the air and it's shot straight through my heart
Tearing open the evening sky and tearing me apart
Now I'll ride that signal down the line till I'm home again with you
So turn up your radio and I'll save my love for you
Turn up your radio and I'll save my love for you

Ain't Good Enough For You lyrics - bruce springsteen

Well you don't like, don't like the way I walk
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Logic defies how you get stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
You complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm always out with the boys

Whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I give up little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you

You complain the way I love you at night
You explain I'm really not your type
If we go out, you say I'm such a bore
If we stay in, you say what are we living for
I don't understand, there's nothing I can do
There ain't no way I can satisfy you
End of the night I lean in for a kiss
Here comes the pitch, a swing and a miss

Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, well you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you, hey!
Hey!
(Come on boys!)

Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Hey hey little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you

I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomindales
And babe I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting cool just like Jimmy Iovine
I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love with all the latest moves
I bought some flowers and I waited at your door
And you came out, didn't want to see me no more

Whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Hey! Hey! Hey!
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Aww no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Whoaaa!

Fire lyrics - bruce springsteen

I'm driving in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close
You just say no
You say you don't like it
But girl I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, Fire

Late at night
I'm takin' you home
I say I wanna stay
You say you wanna be alone
You say you don't love me
Girl you can't hide your desire
'Cause when we kiss
Oh, Fire
Fire

You had a hold on me
Right from the start
A grip so tight
I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin'
Actin' like a fool
Well your kisses they burn
But your heart stays cool

Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
Their love they didn't deny
Your words say split
But your words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
Mmmmmm, Fire
Fire

Burnin in my soul
It's outta control

Spanish Eyes lyrics - bruce springsteen

Little Christine
We're takin' one more run
Secret heart, when the time has begun
Come to part
And hey, you're the one
And now we know
My heart is sold
And though we tried
You took me with your spanish eyes

Hey badlands
Realize
That someone else is yearning
Special sunday night
And baby there's time
Time enough to cry
With all our sad stories
And all the bad that we've done
And all the times
we've rode on for glory
And ...
And you took me with your spanish eyes

Stretch out baby
And call your daddy home
'Cause I'm runnin' tonight
Couldn't be all alone
Yes I know how something died
But baby it was just for kicks
It was just for fun
Even with all the bad that we done
They can't say we didn't try
And I fell for your Spanish eyes

Saturday night special
Waitin' in the sheets
Oh come on
Talk to me, my sweet
And I'll try to make it complete this time
Come close and let me dry your eyes
Let me try to turn the lies
And let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Come here, baby

It's A Shame lyrics - bruce springsteen

Well I walk the way you want me to
And I'll talk the way you want me to
And I've tried to do all I can just to please you

Well I work hard every day for you
And I brought home all my pay for you
And I've cried my tears through the rain night and again

And oh whoa girl, it's a shame
Oh whoa girl, it's a doggone shame
We worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa girl, it's a shame

Now I bought your gold and diamond rings
And I brought you home your pretty things
And I thought I'd shown all the love I had for you, yes I did

But as hard as I try it all falls through
Well maybe I was born to be just your fool
Trying to satisfy your every desire, each need you require

Well oh whoa girl, it's a shame
Oh whoa girl, it's a doggone shame
I worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa girl, it's a shame

Someone now!
Whoa!
Whoaaa, whoa-hoo
Whoa

Oh whoa girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
We worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa girl, it's a shame
Oh whoa girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
I worked so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa, girl it's a shame

Come On (Let's Go Tonight) lyrics - bruce springsteen

Put on your black dress baby, and put your hair up right
There's a party way down in Factory Town tonight
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let's go tonight

How many men fail, their dreams denied
They walk through these streets with death in their eyes
Now the man on the radio says "Elvis Presley died"
Come on, come on, let's go tonight

Well now some came to witness, now some came to weep
Drawn by death's strange glory, they stood in the street
Drawn together forever in the promise of an endless sleep
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
Baby, come on, come on, let's go tonight
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da

Talk To Me lyrics - bruce springsteen

Well every night I see a light shine in your window
And every night you won't answer when I come knocking at your door
Your daddy won't ever let me in
And I see from the street your silhouette sittin' close to him
What must I do
What does it take
To get you to

Oh, Talk to me
Well until the night is over
Hey little girl want you talk to me

I'm just asking girl

Yes and late at night I see the two of you softly swayin'
I don't understand darling what was my sin
Why am I down here below your arms are open to him

The Little Things (My Baby Does) lyrics - bruce springsteen

The way she kisses so tenderly
The way she gives her love to me
I been felt by the graces and angels up above
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

The way she sighs when I hold her tight
Good times and bad will be alright
Faces on the street they push hard and they shove
Disappear with the little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
I know I love her

The soft summer breeze fills her every sigh
Her eyes are bluer than the summer sky

I been felt by the graces and angels up above
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

And when the night closes in
I'm drifting and I can't find a friend
On the wings of the angels I'm saved by her love
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
[Fades Out]
