LYRICS
I get up in the evening
and I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
radio’s on and I’m moving ’round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere
I’m just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is
Bruce Springsteen played Maria’s Bed during his acoustic pre show in Belfast on July 20th 2013.
LYRICS
Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights
I ain’t complain’n that’s my job and it suits me right
I got a sweet soul fever rushin’ around my head
I’m gonna sleep tonight in Maria’s bed
Got on a dead man’s suit and smilin’ skull ring
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work, my troubles in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria’s bed
I been up on sugar mountain, ‘cross the sweet blue sea
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
I got run out’a luck and gave myself up for dead
Then I drank the cool clear waters from Maria’s bed
She give me candy stick kisses ‘neath a wolf dog moon
One sweet breath and she’ll take you, mister, to the upper room
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria’s bed
I been out in the desert, doin’ my time
Siftin’ through the dust for fools gold, lookin’ for a sign
Holy man said, “Hold on, brother, there’s a light up ahead.”
Ain’t nothin’ like the light that shines on me in Maria’s bed
Well I take my blessings at the riverhead
I’m living in the light of Maria’s bed

LYRICS
Driving in to Darlington County
Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July
Driving in to Darlington County
Looking for some work on the county line
We drove down from New York City
Where the girls are pretty but they just want to know your name
Driving in to Darlington City
Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne’s
We drove eight hundred miles without seeing a cop
We got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top singing
Sha la la la la la la la la, Sha la la la la la la
Hey little girl standing on the corner
Today’s your lucky day for sure all right
Me and my buddy we’re from New York City
We got two hundred dollars we want to rock all night
Girl you’re looking at two big spenders
Why the world don’t know what me and Wayne might do
Our pa’s each own one of the World Trade Centers
For a kiss and a smile I’ll give mine all to you
Come on baby take a seat on my fender
It’s a long night and tell me what else were you gonna do
Just me and you we could Continue reading →
Bruce Springsteen played this rare song called Wages Of Sin in Turku (Finland) on May 8th 2013 during the Wrecking Ball Tour.
When we fight and I wanna talk it out
You won’t say nothing, nothing at all
You just sit there, you won’t open that pretty mouth
I think you like keeping my back up against the wall
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin for wrongs that I’ve done
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin, one by one
I walk in the apartment, there’s clothes thrown all over the place
You’re crouched in the corner with makeup running down your face
I don’t wanna believe what my heart keeps saying
You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we’ve done
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin, that’s how we have our fun
I remember when I was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tall
Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls
Baby all the sounds I heard, even if they weren’t real
I was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels
I tried so hard, so hard in every way
Swore someday I’d grow up, just throw it all away
Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry
Stomached all my fears ’til they came rushin’ up inside
darlin’ I’m losin’ and it’s a mean game
Still I play on just the same
Wages of sin, I keep paying
Wages of sin for some wrong that I’ve done
Wages of sin, well I keep paying
Wages of sin, one by one
