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...
