Badlands

Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting

CHORUS
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good

Workin' in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheel
till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got

I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope

And I pray that some day
It may raise me above these badlands

CHORUS

For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands

Adam Raised a Cain

In the summer that I was baptized
my father held me to his side
as they put me to the water
He said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners of love, a love in chains
He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain
With the same hot blood burning

in our veins. Adam raised a Cain

All of the old faces
ask you why you're back
They fit you with position
and the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room
your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces, the places, the names
You know it's never over, it's relentless

as the rain. Adam raised a Cain

In the Bible Cain slew Abel
and East of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying
for the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms

looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain

Lost but not forgotten, from the dark

heart of a dream. Adam raised a Cain

Something in the Night

I'm riding down Kingsley
figuring I'll get a drink
Turn the radio up loud,
so I don't have to think
I take her to the floor
Looking for a moment when the world seems right
And I tear into the guts
of something in the night.

You're born with nothing
And better off that way
Soon as you've got something they send
someone to try and take it away
You can ride this road 'till dawn
without another human being in sight
Just kids wasted on
something in the night.

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
when it's your last time around
I got stuff running 'round my head
That I just can't live down
When we found the things we loved

They were crushed and dying in the dirt
We tried to pick up the pieces
and get away without getting hurt
But they caught us at the state line
And burned our cars in one last fight
And left us running burned and blind
Chasing something in the night

Candy's Room

In Candy's room

there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room

you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city

call my baby's number

and they bring her toys
When I come knocking

she smiles pretty

she knows I wanna be Candy's boy

There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
A sadness all her own

from which no man can keep Candy safe

We kiss, my heart's rushes to my brain
The blood rushes in my veins

fire rushes towards the sky
We go driving, driving deep into the night
I go driving deep into the light

in Candy's eyes

She says baby if you wanna be wild
you got a lot to learn, close your eyes
Let them melt, let them fire,

let them burn
Cause in the darkness

there'll be hidden worlds that shine
When I hold Candy close

she makes these hidden worlds mine

She has fancy clothes

and diamond rings
She has men who give her anything she wants

but they don't see
That what she wants is me
Oh and I want her so
I'll never let her go, no no no
She knows that I'd give
all that I got to give
All that I want all that I live
to make Candy mine
Tonight

Racing in the Street

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight

down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny

built her straight out of scratch

And he rides with me from town to town

We only run for the money

got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut em down

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For goin' racin' in the street

We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast state
When the strip shuts down

we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate

Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home

from work and wash up

And go racin' in the street

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world,

we're going racin' in the street

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back

and drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles

around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one

who hates for just being born

For all the shut down strangers

and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me

we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands

Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For goin' racin' in the street

The Promise Land

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
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Driving all night

chasing some mirage
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

CHORUS
The dogs on Main Street how 'cause

they understand. If I could take one

moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land

I've done my best to live the right way
I get up every morning and go to work each day
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold
Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode
Explode and tear this whole town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Find somebody itching for something to start

CHORUS

There's a dark cloud rising

from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm heading

straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing

but lost and brokenhearted

CHORUS

I believe in a promised land...

Factory

Early in the morning factory whistle blows,
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes,
Man takes his lunch,

walks out in the morning light
It's the working, the working,

just the working life

Through the mansions of fear,

through the mansions of pain,
I see my daddy walking through

them factory gates in the rain
Factory takes his hearing,

factory gives him life,
The working, the working,

just the working life.

End of the day, factory whistle cries,
Men walk through these gates

with death in their eyes.
And you just better believe, boy,
somebody's gonna get hurt tonight,
It's the working, the working,

just the working life

Streets of Fire

When the night's quiet
and you don't care anymore
And your eyes are tired

and there's someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies

and the cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and leave you

face to face with streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
I'm wandering,

a loser down these tracks
I'm dying, but girl I can't go back
'Cause in the darkness I hear

somebody call my name
And when you realize how

they tricked you this time
And it's all lies

but I'm strung out on the wire
In these streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire

I live now only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels

that have no place
Streets of fire

Prove it all Night

I've been working real hard,

trying to get my hands clean
Tonight we'll drive that dusty road

from Monroe to Angeline, to buy you a

gold ring and pretty dress of blue
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you
A kiss to seal our fate tonight
A kiss to prove it all night

CHORUS

Prove it all night,
Girl there's nothing else that we can do,
So prove it all night

Prove it all night
And girl I'll prove it all night for you

Everybody's got a hunger,

a hunger they can't resist
There's so much that you want,

you deserve much more than this
But if dreams came true

Oh, wouldn't that be nice
But this ain't no dream,

we're living through tonight
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.

CHORUS

Prove it all night

Prove it all night girl and call the bluff

Prove it all night

Prove it all night and girl

I prove it all night for your love

Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow
Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo
You hear the voices telling you not to go
They made their choices and they'll never know
What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie
What it's like to live and die

CHORUS
To prove it all night...

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

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
