Darkness On the Edge of Town |
| They’re still racing out at the Trestles |
| But 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 |
| Everybody’s got a secret Sonny |
| Something that they just can’t face |
| Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it They carry it with them every step that they take |
| Till some 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 |
| Some folks are born into a good life |
| Other folks get it anyway anyhow |
| I lost my money and I lost my wife |
| Them things don’t seem to matter much to me now |
| Tonight I’ll be on that hill `cause I can’t stop |
| I’ll be on that hill with everything I 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 |
