Bruce Springsteen - Best Of Lyrics





Growin Up


I stood stone-like at midnight, suspended in my masquerade
+
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
+
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
+
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and come out with my soul untouched
+
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, "Sit down," I stood up
+
Ooh...growin' up
+
The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing
+
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing
+
I pushed b-52 and bombed them with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
+
I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing
+
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, "Come down," I threw up
+
Ooh...growin' up
+
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere, and you know it's really hard to hold your breath
+
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
+
Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars
+
And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
+
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd, but when they said, "Pull down," I pulled up
+
Ooh...growin' up
+
Ooh...growin' up
+

Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)


Spread out now Rosie, doctor come cut loose her mama's reins
+
You know playin' blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
+
You pick up little dynamite, I'll pick up little gun
+
And together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
+
You don't have to call me lieutenant, Rosie, and I don't want to be your son
+
The only lover I'm ever gonna need's your soft, sweet, little girl's tongue
+
And Rosie, you're the one
+
Dynamite's in the belfry, baby, playin' with the bats
+
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's tryin' out his attitude on all the cats
+
Papa's on the corner, waitin' for the bus
+
Mama, she's home in the window, waitin' up for us
+
She'll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs
+
'Cause you know we ain't gonna come
+
I ain't here on business, baby, I'm only here for fun
+
And Rosie, you're the one
+
Rosalita, jump a little higher
+
Senorita, come sit by my fire
+
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
+
Rosalita, you're my stone desire
+
Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knee Willie, don't you know they're gonna be there
+
Ah Sloppy Sue and Big Bone Billy, they'll be coming up for air
+
We're gonna play some pool, skip some school
+
Act real cool, stay out all night, it's gonna feel alright
+
So Rosie, come out tonight, little baby, come out tonight
+
Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
+
Oh, closets are for hangers, winners use the door
+
So use it, Rosie, that's what it's there for
+
Rosalita, jump a little higher
+
Senorita, come sit by my fire
+
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
+
Rosalita, you're my stone desire, alright
+
Now, I know your mama, she don't like me, 'cause I play in a rock and roll band
+
And I know your daddy, he don't dig me, but he never did understand
+
Your papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room, I'm comin' to lend a hand
+
I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you, I want to be your man
+
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
+
But now you're sad, your mama's mad
+
And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
+
Oh, your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
+
Oh, so your daddy says he knows that I don't have any money
+
Well, tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance
+
Because a record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance
+
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed, but the Lord had mercy
+
And my machine, she's a dud, out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
+
Well, hold on tight, stay up all night, 'cause Rosie, I'm comin' on strong
+
By the time we meet the morning light, I will hold you in my arms
+
I know a pretty little place in Southern California, down San Diego way
+
There's a little cafe, where they play guitars all night and all day
+
You can hear them in the back room strummin'
+
So hold tight, baby, 'cause don't you know daddy's comin'
+
Everybody sing
+
Rosalita, jump a little higher
+
Senorita, come sit by my fire
+
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
+
Rosalita, you're my stone desire
+
Hey hey hey hey
+
Hey hey hey hey
+
Hey hey hey hey

Born to Run


In the day we sweat it out on the streets
+
Of a runaway American dream
+
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
+
In suicide machines
+
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
+
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
+
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
+
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
+
We gotta get out while we're young
+
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
+
Yes, girl, we were
+
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
+
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
+
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
+
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
+
Together we could break this trap
+
We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back
+
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
+
'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
+
But I gotta know how it feels
+
I want to know if love is wild
+
Babe, I want to know if love is real
+
Oh, can you show me
+
Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones
+
Scream down the boulevard
+
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
+
And the boys try to look so hard
+
The amusement park rises bold and stark
+
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
+
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight
+
In an everlasting kiss
+
(One, two, three, four)
+
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
+
On a last chance power drive
+
Everybody's out on the run tonight
+
But there's no place left to hide
+
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
+
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
+
Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when
+
We're gonna get to that place
+
Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun
+
But 'til then, tramps like us
+
Baby, we were born to run
+
Oh honey, tramps like us
+
Baby, we were born to run
+
Come on with me, tramps like us
+
Baby, we were born to run
+

Thunder Road


A screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
+
Like a vision she dances across the porch
+
As the radio plays
+
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
+
Hey, that's me, and I want you only
+
Don't turn me home again
+
I just can't face myself alone again
+
Don't run back inside, darling
+
You know just what I'm here for
+
So you're scared and you're thinking
+
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
+
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
+
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
+
Oh, and that's alright with me
+
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
+
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
+
Waste your summer praying in vain
+
For a savior to rise from these streets
+
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
+
All the redemption I can offer, girl
+
Is beneath this dirty hood
+
With a chance to make it good somehow
+
Hey, what else can we do now?
+
Except roll down the window
+
And let the wind blow back your hair
+
Well, the night's busting open
+
These two lanes will take us anywhere
+
We got one last chance to make it real
+
To trade in these wings on some wheels
+
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
+
Oh-oh, come take my hand
+
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
+
Oh-oh, Thunder Road
+
Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
+
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
+
Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run
+
Oh-oh, Thunder Road
+
Sit tight, take hold
+
Thunder Road
+
Well, I got this guitar
+
And I learned how to make it talk
+
And my car's out back
+
If you're ready to take that long walk
+
From your front porch to my front seat
+
The door's open but the ride ain't free
+
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
+
Tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken
+
There were ghosts in the eyes
+
Of all the boys you sent away
+
They haunt this dusty beach road
+
On the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
+
They scream your name at night in the street
+
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
+
And in the lonely cool before dawn
+
You hear their engines roaring on
+
When you get to the porch
+
They're gone on the wind
+
So Mary, climb in
+
It's a town full of losers
+
I'm pulling out of here to win
+

Badlands


Well, lights out tonight
+
Trouble in the heartland
+
Got a head on collision
+
Smashin' in my guts, man
+
I'm caught in a cross fire
+
That I don't understand
+
But there's one thing I know for sure, girl
+
I don't give a damn
+
For the same old played out scenes
+
Baby, I don't give a damn
+
For just the in-betweens
+
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
+
I want control right now
+
You better listen to me, baby
+
Talk about a dream
+
Try to make it real
+
You wake up in the night
+
With a fear so real
+
You spend your life waiting
+
For a moment that just don't come
+
Well, don't waste your time waiting
+
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
+
Let the broken hearts stand
+
As the price you've gotta pay
+
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
+
And these badlands start treating us good
+
Workin' in the fields
+
That'll get your back burned
+
Workin' 'neath the wheels
+
'Til you get your facts learned
+
Baby, I got my facts
+
Learned real good right now
+
You better get it straight, darlin'
+
Poor man wanna be rich
+
Rich man wanna be king
+
And a king ain't satisfied
+
'Til he rules everything
+
I wanna go out tonight
+
I wanna find out what I got
+
Well, I believe in the love that you gave me
+
I believe in the faith that can save me
+
I believe in the hope and I pray
+
That someday it may raise me
+
Above these
+
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
+
Let the broken hearts stand
+
As the price you've gotta pay
+
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
+
And these badlands start treating us good
+
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
+
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
+
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
+
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
+
I wanna find one place
+
I wanna spit in the face of these
+
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
+
Let the broken hearts stand
+
As the price you've gotta pay
+
Keep movin' 'til it's understood
+
And these badlands start treating us good
+
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, badlands
+
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, badlands
+
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, badlands

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, badlands

Hungry Heart


Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
+
I went out for a ride and I never went back
+
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
+
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
+
[CHORUS]
+
Everybody's got a hungry heart
+
Everybody's got a hungry heart
+
Lay down your money and you play your part
+
Everybody's got a hungry heart
+
I met her in a Kingstown bar
+
We fell in love I knew it had to end
+
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
+
Now here I am down in Kingstone again
+
[CHORUS]
+
Everybody needs a place to rest
+
Everybody wants to have a home
+
Don't make no difference what nobody says
+
Ain't nobody like to be alone
+
[CHORUS]

Atlantic City


Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night now they blew up his house too
+
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do
+

Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state and the D.A. can't get no relief

+
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commissions hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
+

Everything dies baby that's a fact

+
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
+
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
+

Well I got a job and tried to put my money away

+
But I got in too deep and I could not pay
+
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
+
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
+

Everything dies baby that's a fact

+
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
+
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
+

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay

+
We're goin' out where the sands turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's cause the nights gettin' cold and maybe everything dies
+
That's a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
+

Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find

+
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
+
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
+
So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
+
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
+
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
+
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
+

Dancing In the Dark


I get up in the evenin'
+
And I ain't got nothin' to say
+
I come home in the mornin'
+
I go to bed feelin' the same way
+
I ain't nothin' but tired
+
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
+
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
+
You can't start a fire
+
You can't start a fire without a spark
+
This gun's for hire
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
+
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
+
I check my look in the mirror
+
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
+
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
+
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
+
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
+
Baby, I just know that there is
+
You can't start a fire
+
You can't start a fire without a spark
+
This gun's for hire
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
You sit around gettin' older
+
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
+
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
+
Come on, baby, this laugh's on me
+
Stay on the streets of this town
+
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
+
They say you gotta stay hungry
+
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
+
I'm dyin' for some action
+
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
+
I need a love reaction
+
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
+
You can't start a fire
+
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
+
This gun's for hire
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
You can't start a fire
+
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
+
This gun's for hire
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
+
Hey baby

Born In The U.S.A.


Born down in a dead man's town
+
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
+
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
+
'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up now
+
Born in the USA
+
I was born in the USA
+
I was born in the USA
+
Born in the USA now
+
Got in a little hometown jam
+
So they put a rifle in my hands
+
Sent me off to a foreign land
+
To go and kill the yellow man
+
Born in the USA
+
I was born in the USA
+
I was born in the USA
+
I was born in the USA
+
Come back home to the refinery
+
Hiring man said, "Son if it was up to me"
+
Went down to see my VA man
+
He said, "Son, don't you understand now?"
+
(Ok)
+
(No, no)
+
(No, no, no)
+
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
+
Fighting off all the Viet Cong
+
They're still there, he's all gone
+
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
+
I got a picture of him in her arms now
+
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
+
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
+
I'm ten years burning down the road
+
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
+
Born in the USA
+
I was born in the USA now
+
Born in the USA
+
I'm a long gone Daddy in the USA now
+
Born in the USA
+
Born in the USA
+
Born in the USA
+
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the USA now
+
(Oh, no)

(Oh, no, no, no)
+
(Oh, no, no)
+
(Oh, no, no, no)
+
Hey

(Oh, no, no)

Brilliant Disguise


I hold you in my arms
+
As the band plays
+
What are those words whispered baby
+
Just as you turn away
+
I saw you last night
+
Out on the edge of town
+
I want to read your mind
+
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
+
So tell me what I see
+
When I look in your eyes
+
Is that you baby
+
Or just a brilliant disguise
+
I heard somebody call your name
+
From underneath our willow
+
I saw something tucked in shame
+
Underneath your pillow
+
Well I've tried so hard baby
+
But I just can't see
+
What a woman like you
+
Is doing with me
+
So tell me who I see
+
When I look in your eyes
+
Is that you baby
+
Or just a brilliant disguise
+
Now look at me baby
+
Struggling to do everything right
+
And then it all falls apart
+
When out go the lights
+
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
+
I walk this world in wealth
+
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
+
'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself
+
Now you play the loving woman
+
I'll play the faithful man
+
But just don't look too close
+
Into the palm of my hand
+
We stood at the alter
+
The gypsy swore our future was right
+
But come the wee wee hours
+
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
+
So when you look at me
+
You better look hard and look twice
+
Is that me baby
+
Or just a brilliant disguise
+
Tonight our bed is cold
+
Lost in the darkness of our love
+
God have mercy on the man
+
Who doubts what he's sure of
+

Human Touch


You and me we were the pretenders
+
We let it all slip away
+
In the end what don't surrender
+
Well the world just strips away
+

Girl ain't no kindness in the face of strangers

+
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
+
Well you can wait on your blessings my darlin'
+
But I got a deal for you right here
+

I ain't lookin' for prayers or pity

+
I ain't comin' 'round searchin' for a crutch
+
I just want someone to talk to
+
And a little of that human touch
+
Just a little of that human touch
+

Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town

+
Ain't no bread from heavenly skies
+
Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood
+
It's just you and me tonight
+

Tell me in a world without pity

+
Do you think what I'm askin's too much ?
+
I just want something to hold on to
+
And a little of that human touch
+
Just a little of that human touch
+

Oh girl that feeling of safety you prize

+
Well it comes with a hard hard price
+
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
+
Without losin' the love that remains
+
We're all riders on this train
+

So you been broken and you been hurt

+
Show me somebody who ain't
+
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
+
But hell a little touchup
+
And a litte paint...
+

You might need somethin' to hold on to

+
When all the answers they don't amount to much
+
Somebody that you can just talk to
+
And a little of that human touch
+

Baby in a world without pity

+
Do you think what I'm askin's too much ?
+
I just want to feel you in my arms
+
And share a little of that human touch...

Streets Of Philadelphia


I was bruised and battered
+
And I couldn't tell what I felt
+
I was unrecognizable to myself
+
Saw my reflection in a window
+
I didn't know my own face
+
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
+
On the streets of Philadelphia
+
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
+
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
+
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
+
Just as black and whispering as the rain
+
On the streets of Philadelphia
+
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
+
It's just you and I my friend
+
And my clothes don't fit me no more
+
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin
+
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
+
I can feel myself fading away
+
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
+
Or will we leave each other alone like this
+
On the streets of Philadelphia

The Ghost of Tom Joad


Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
+
Going someplace, there's no going back
+
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
+
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
+
Shelter line stretching 'round the corner
+
Welcome to the new world order
+
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
+
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
+
Well the highway is alive tonight
+
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
+
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
+
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
+
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
+
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
+
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
+
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
+
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
+
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
+
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
+
Bathing in the city's aqueduct
+
Go!
+
Well the highway is alive tonight
+
Where it's headed everybody knows
+
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
+
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
+
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
+
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
+
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
+
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
+
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
+
Or a decent job or a helping hand
+
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
+
Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me"
+
Yeah!
+
The highway is alive tonight
+
Where it's headed everybody knows
+
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
+
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
+

+
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
+
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
+
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
+
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
+
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
+
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
+
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
+
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
+
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
+
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
+
Bathing in the city's aqueduct
+
Go!
+
Well the highway is alive tonight
+
Where it's headed everybody knows
+
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
+
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
+
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
+
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
+
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
+
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
+
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
+
Or a decent job or a helping hand
+
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
+
Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me"
+
Yeah!
+
The highway is alive tonight
+
Where it's headed everybody knows
+
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
+
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

Secret Garden


She'll let you in her house
+
If you come knockin' late at night
+
She'll let you in her mouth
+
If the words you say are right
+
If you pay the price
+
She'll let you deep inside
+
But there's a secret garden she hides
+
She'll let you in her car
+
To go drivin' round
+
She'll let you into the parts of herself
+
That'll bring you down
+
She'll let you in herheart
+
If you got a hammer and a vise
+
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
+
You've gone a million miles
+
How far'd you get
+
To that place where You can't remember
+
And you can't forget
+
She'll lead you down a path
+
There'll be tenderness in the air
+
She'll let you come just far enough
+
So you know she's really there
+
She'll look at you and smile
+
And her eyes will say
+
She's got a secret garden
+
Where everything you want
+
Where everything you need
+
Will always stay
+
A million miles away
+

The Rising


Can't see nothin' in front of me
+
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
+
Make my way through this darkness
+
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
+
Lost track of how far I've gone
+
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
+
On my back's a sixty pound stone
+
On my shoulder a half mile of line
+
Come on up for the rising
+
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
+
Come on up for the rising
+
Come on up for the rising tonight
+
Left the house this morning
+
Bells ringing filled the air
+
I was wearin' the cross of my calling
+
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
+
Come on up for the rising
+
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
+
Come on up for the rising
+
Come on up for the rising tonight
+
Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li
+
There's spirits above and behind me
+
Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright
+
May their precious blood bind me
+
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light
+
Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li
+
I see you Mary in the garden
+
In the garden of a thousand sighs
+
There's holy pictures of our children
+
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
+
May I feel your arms around me
+
May I feel your blood mix with mine
+
A dream of life comes to me
+
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line
+
Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)
+
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
+
Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)
+
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)
+
Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)
+
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
+
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
+
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life
+
Come on up for the rising
+
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
+
Come on up for the rising
+
Come on up for the rising tonight
+
Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Girls In Their Summer Clothes


Well the street lights shine
+
Down on Blessing Avenue
+
Lovers they walk by
+
Holdin' hands two by two
+

A breeze crosses the porch

+
Bicycle spokes spin 'round
+
Jacket's on, I'm out the door
+
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down
+

And the girls in their summer clothes

+
In the cool of the evening light
+
The girls in their summer clothes
+
Pass me by
+

Kid's rubber ball smacks

+
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
+
Big bank clock chimes
+
Off go the sleepy front porch lights
+

Downtown the store's alive

+
As the evening's underway
+
Things been a little tight
+
But I know they're gonna turn my way
+

And the girls in their summer clothes

+
In the cool of the evening light
+
The girls in their summer clothes
+
Pass me by
+

Frankie's Diner's

+
Over on the edge of town
+
Neon sign spinnin' round
+
Like a cross over the lost and found
+

Fluorescent lights

+
Flicker above Bob's Grill
+
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?"
+
And says "penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill"
+

She went away

+
She cut me like a knife
+
Had a beautiful thing
+
Maybe you just saved my life
+

In just a glance

+
Down here on Magic Street
+
Love's a fool's dance
+
I ain't got no sense but I still got my feet
+

And the girls in their summer clothes

+
In the cool of the evening light
+
The girls in their summer clothes
+
Pass me by
+

And the girls in their summer clothes

+
In the cool of the evening light
+
The girls in their summer clothes
+
Pass me by
+

La la la la, la la la la la la la

+
La la la la, la la la la la la la

La la la la, la la la la la la la

La la la la, la la la la la la la

Hello Sunshine


Had enough of heartbreak and pain
+
I had a little sweet spot for the rain
+
For the rain and skies of grey
+
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
+
You know I always liked my walking shoes
+
But you can get a little too fond of the blues
+
You walk too far, you walk away
+
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
+
You know I always loved a lonely town
+
Those empty streets, no one around
+
You fall in love with lonely, you end up that way
+
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
+
You know I always liked that empty road
+
No place to be and miles to go
+
But miles to go is miles away
+
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
+
And miles to go is miles away
+
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
+
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
+
Hello sunshine

Letter to You


'Neath a crown of mongrel trees
+
I pulled that bothersome thread
+
Got down on my knees
+
Grabbed my pen and bowed my head
+
Tried to summon all that my heart finds true
+
And send it in my letter to you
+
Things I found out through hard times and good
+
I wrote 'em all out in ink and blood
+
Dug deep in my soul and signed my name true
+
And sent it in my letter to you
+
In my letter to you
+
I took all my fears and doubts
+
In my letter to you
+
All the hard things I found out
+
In my letter to you
+
All that I've found true
+
And I sent it in my letter to you
+
I took all the sunshine and rain
+
All my happiness and all my pain
+
The dark evening stars
+
And the morning sky of blue
+
And I sent it in my letter to you
+
And I sent it in my letter to you
+
In my letter to you
+
I took all my fears and doubts
+
In my letter to you
+
All the hard things that I found out
+
In my letter to you
+
All that I found true
+
And I sent it in my letter to you
+
I sent it in my letter to you
