Darkness On The Edge Of Town

1. Now 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 beneath Abram's Bridge

And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town

There's a darkness on the edge of town

2. Now everybody's got a secret Sonny

Just something that they just can't face

Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it

They carry it with them every step that they take

Till someday 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

3. Now some folks are born into a good life

Other folks they get it anyway anyhow

Well me, I lost my money and I lost my wife

Those things don't matter much to me now

'Cause 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

In the darkness on the edge of town
