Bruce Springsteen — Darkness on the Edge of Town MTV Plugged

[Verse] They're still racing out at the Trestles Where 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 There's a darkness on the edge of town [Verse] Everybody's got a secret, Sonny Something that they just can't face Some folks, they spend their whole lives trying to keep it They carry it with 'em every step that they take Till one 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 In the darkness on the edge of town [Verse] Some folks are born into a good life Other folks, they just get it any way anyhow Well, I lost my faith when I lost my wife Them things don't seem to matter much to me now 'Cause Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop I'll be on that hill with everything I've 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 In the darkness on the edge of town
