Springsteen Lyrics

Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand
That's quicksand, that ain't mud
Have you thrown your senses to the war
Or did you lose them in the flood?

I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now

I'm still the biggest fool, honey, this world ever knew
'Cause the only thing I ain't got, baby, I ain't got you

Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know, baby
Maybe you've been around too

You say that you miss the nights when we'd go out dancing
The days when you and I walked as two
Well girl I miss them too, oh I swear that I do

Come across your radio station
Calling out nation to nation
If you can hear me then say alright
And if you can, meet me in the city tonight

Early in the morning, factory whistle blows

Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers, winners use the door

If you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you
And all the miles in between
And I'm just calling one last time
Not to change your mind
But just to say I miss you, baby
Good luck, goodbye
Bobby Jean

You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks
Out on to an open road you ride until the day
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay

Each night I pray, each night I pray to God above
Oh I never had a Sunday love

I catch him when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family, he ain't no friend of mine

And the poets down here don't write nothing at all
They just stand back and let it all be

All this steel and these stories
They drift away to rust
And all our youth and beauty Has been given to the dust

In just a glance
Down here on Magic Street
Love's a fool's dance
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet

I got a dollar in my pocket
There ain't a cloud up above
I got a picture in a locket
That says "Baby, I love you"

Cynthia, when you come walkin' by
You're an inspiring sight

Didn’t you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound

And you know she will be waiting there
And you'll find her somehow, you swear, somewhere tonight
You run sad and free
Until all you can see is the night

The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

So come on, hey, we're goin' down there
Hey, little girl with the long blonde hair
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
Baby, down at the country fair

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving 'cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time

With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh, she's the one

So say goodbye it’s Independence Day
All men must make their way come Independence Day

The criminal clown has stolen the throne
He steals what he can never own
May the truth ring out from every small town bar
We'll light up the house of a thousand guitars

Wonderin'
Where can his baby be
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe

I had a dream our love would last forever
I had a dream tonight my dream comes true
And if you'll hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, I want a rendezvous

Bird on a wire outside my motel room
But he ain't singin'
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church bells they ain't ringing

But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
