I lit another on the on-ramp

Put on Darkness on the Edge of Town

Ain't it funny how a sad song

 Can make the road long

 Cause a man to cover ground

With every smile in the rearview

Right next to all them things that I shoulda done

 I never did, Not a single one

Her eyes were the first prize

In a lonesome game I shoulda never won

Well this

Place I'm headin' just don't

Seem much better I guess it

Just hasn't set and I should

Start forgettin' well this

Sure ain't Jersey

But I'm racin' down these streets again

Headin' for the shore

With a little luck

A little less bitter and

(Riff)

A little less bitter and

(Riff)

I said goodbye to a closed eye

Just beggin' for it's ocean blue

Cause after all it's a long ride

From Badlands to Fairview

Ain't it funny how one little girl

Could take a place like this whole wide world

Crush it down make it seem so goddamn...Small

Ain't it somethin' how a man with nothin' can

Always find a lower place to fall

Well this

Place I'm headin' just don't

Seem much better I guess it

Just hasn't set and

I should start forgettin' well this

Sure ain't Jersey

But I'm racin' down these streets again

Headin' for the shore

And with a little luck

A little less bitter and

(Riff)

A little less bitter and

(Riff)

A little less bitter and

(Riff x2)

 They're still racing down 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

There's a darkness on the edge of town

I'm that darkness on the edge...

 Of town...
