Darlington County Lyrics - Live: 1975-85 (3cd) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Driving in to Darlington County 

Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July 

Driving in to Darlington County 

Looking for some work on the county line 

We drove down from New York City 

Where the girls are pretty but they just want to know your name 

Driving in to Darlington City 

Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne's 

We drove 800 miles without seeing a cop 

We got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top, singing... 

[Chorus] 

Sha la la, sha la la la la 

Sha la la la, la la la 

Sha la la, sha la la la la 

Sha la la la, la la la 

Hey little girl, standing on the corner 

Today's your lucky day for sure, all right 

Me and my buddy, we're from New York City 

We got two hundred dollars, we want to rock all night 

Girl, you're looking at two big spenders 

Why, the world don't know what me and Wayne might do 

Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers 

For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you 

Come on baby, take a seat on my fender 

It's a long night, and tell me, what else were you gonna do? 

Just me and you, we could 

[Chorus] 

Little girl, sitting in the window 

Ain't seen my buddy in seven days 

County man tells me the same thing 

He don't work and he don't get paid 

Little girl, you're so young and pretty 

Walk with me and you can have your way 

And we'll leave this Darlington City 

For a ride down that Dixie Highway 

Driving out of Darlington County 

My eyes seen the glory of the coming of the Lord 

Driving out of Darlington County 

Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper's Ford 

[Chorus: x3]
