WELL, THEY'RE STILL RACIN'
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 TRYIN' 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
WELL, EVERYBODY'S
GOT A SECRET, SON
SOMETHIN' THAT
THEY JUST CAN'T FACE
SOME FOLKS SPEND
THEIR WHOLE LIVES
TRYIN' TO KEEP IT
THEY CARRY IT WITH THEM
EVERY STEP THAT THEY TAKE
'TIL 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
HUH! HUH! HUH! HUH!
HUH! HUH!
WELL, NOW SOME FOLKS
ARE BORN INTO A GOOD LIFE
AND OTHER FOLKS
GET IT ANYWAY, ANYHOW
WELL, 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'VE GOT
WHERE LIVES ON THE LINE
WHERE DREAMS
ARE FOUND AND LOST
I'LL BE THERE ON TIME
BUT I'LL PAY THE COST
FOR WANTIN' THINGS
THAT CAN ONLY BE FOUND
IN THE DARKNESS
ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
IN THE DARKNESS
ON THE EDGE... OF TOWN...
