Darkness On The Edge Of Town Lyrics - Live: 1975-85 (3cd) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

They're still racing out at the trestles 

But that blood it never burned in her veins 

Now I hear she's got a house up in fairview 

And a style she's trying to maintain 

Well if she wants to see me 

You can tell her that I'm easily found 

Tell her there's a spot out `neath abram's bridge 

And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town 

Everybody's got a secret sonny 

Something that they just can't face 

Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it 

They carry it with them every step that they take 

Till some day they just cut it loose 

Cut it loose or let it drag `em down 

Where no one asks any questions 

Or looks too long in your face 

In the darkness on the edge of town 

Some folks are born into a good life 

Other folks get it anyway anyhow 

I lost my money and I lost my wife 

Them things don't seem to matter much to me now 

Tonight I'll be on that hill `cause I can't stop 

I'll be on that hill with everything I got 

Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost 

I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost 

For wanting things that can only be found 

In the darkness on the edge of town
