Bruce Springsteen — Take ’Em as They Come

[Verse] 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 [Verse] Little girl, put on your best 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 gotta take 'em, baby, as they come [Chorus] You gotta take 'em Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em, baby, as they come [Verse] 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 [Verse] Little girl, gone are the days Faded away into a 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 [Chorus] You gotta take 'em Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em, baby, as they come [Bridge] 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 [Verse] 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, little one I swear I'll take 'em, baby, when they come [Chorus] Take 'em Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em, baby, as they come [Outro] Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em, baby, as they come Take 'em, baby, as they come Take 'em, baby, as they come Take 'em, baby, as they come
