| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | Bruce Springsteen Downbound Train I had a job, I had a girl I had something going, mister, in this world I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard Now I work down at the car wash Where all it ever does is rain Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train She just said, "Joe, I gotta go We had it once, we ain't got it anymore" She packed her bags, left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel her kiss in the misty rain And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train Last night I heard your voice You were crying, crying, you were so alone You said your love had never died You were waiting for me at home Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran till I thought my chest would explode There in the clearing, beyond the highway In the moonlight, our wedding house shone I rushed through the yard I burst through the front door, my head pounding hard Up the stairs I climbed The room was dark, our bed was empty Then I heard that long whistle whine And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain Now, don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train  Guard within yourself that treasure, kindness! ~GS So what if I'm a good girl? It doesn't mean I can't defend myself! | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | 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, 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, 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, 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 hope that can save me, I believe in the faith and I pray, that someday it may raise me, Above these badlands 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. 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 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.  The best trip that I've ever had Higher than a jet plane, pass it around My drinks on empty, need another round I wanna fly, wanna ride with you Is this the best that you can do? I wanna fly, wanna ride with you Higher than a jet plane with you | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | I posted this song in another thread but it's that damn good. -Jersey girl- I got no time for the corner boys Down in the street making all that noise Or the girls out on the avenue ’Cause tonight I wanna be with you Tonight I’m gonna take that ride Across the river to the Jersey side Take my baby to the carnival And I’ll take her on all the rides ’Cause down the shore everything’s all right You and your baby on a Saturday night You know all my dreams come true When I’m walking down the street with you Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la I’m in love with a Jersey girl You know she thrills me with all her charms When I’m wrapped up in my baby’s arms My little girl gives me everything I know that some day she’ll wear my ring So don’t bother me man I ain’t got no time I’m on my way to see that girl of mine ’Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world When you’re in love with a Jersey girl Sha la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la la I’m in love with a Jersey girl I see you on the street and you look so tired I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired When I come by to take you out to eat You’re lyin’ all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on We’re gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom’s I know a place where the dancing’s free Now baby won’t you come with me ’Cause down the shore everything’s all right You and your baby on a Saturday night Nothing matters in this whole wide world When you’re in love with a Jersey girl  THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ISOLATED .......Proud graduate of the Spitfire421 school of altered reality....... | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Ok, well if you insist... 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 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  Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith This message was edited by Froy on 6-19-01 @ 11:32 AM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines Sprung from cages out on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected And steppin' out over the line Baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands across my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back Will you walk with me out on the wire 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider But I gotta know how it feels I want to know if your love is wild Girl I want to know if love is real Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss The highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide Together Wendy we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Someday girl I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really want to go And we'll walk in the sun But till then tramps like us Baby we were born to run  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Here's one of my favorite obscure Bruce tunes. I defy you to ever hear this on the radio. When I lost you honey sometimes I think I lost my guts too And I wish God would send me a word send me something I'm afraid to lose Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives I get shivers down my spine and all I wanna do is hold you tight I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes And to taste your tender charms And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street Tonight there's calling strangers, hear them crying in defeat. Let them go, let them go, let them go, do their dances of the dead (let'em go right ahead) You just dry your eyes girl, and c'mon c'mon c'mon let's go to bed, baby, baby, baby I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes And to taste your tender charms And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms There's machines and there's fire waiting on the edge of town They're out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now Cause you've got, you've got, you've got, you've got my love, you've got my love Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain You've got, you've got my, my love heart and soul Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Well a great black river a man had found So he put all his money in a hole in the ground And sent a big steel arm drivin’ down down down Man now I live on the streets of Houston town Packed up my wife and kids when winter came along And we headed down south with just spit and a song But they said "Sorry son it’s gone gone gone" Well there’s men hunkered down by the railroad tracks The Elkhorn Special blowin’ my hair back Tents pitched on the highway in the dirty moonlight And I don’t know where I’m gonna sleep tonight Parked in the lumberyard freezin’ our asses off My kids in the back seat got a graveyard cough Well I’m sleepin’ up in front with my wife Billy club tappin’ on the windshield in the middle of the night Says "Move along man move along" Well big limousine long shiny and black You don’t look ahead you don’t look back How many times can you get up after you’ve been hit ? Well I swear if I could spare the spit I’d lay one on your shiny chrome And send you on your way back home So if you’re gonna leave your town where the north wind blow To go on down where that sweet soda river flow Well you better think twice on it Jack You’re better off buyin’ a shotgun dead off the rack You ain’t gonna find nothin’ down here friend Except seeds blowin’ up the highway in the south wind Movin’ on movin’ on it’s gone gone all gone Guard within yourself that treasure, kindness! ~GS So what if I'm a good girl? It doesn't mean I can't defend myself! | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | 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 pumpin' 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'll 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 live All that I want all that I live to make Candy mine Tonight | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Ok, one of my favorites off of one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. Seen a man standin' over a dead dog lyin' by the highway in a ditch He's lookin' down kinda puzzled pokin' that dog with a stick Got his car door flung open he's standin' out on Highway 31 Like if he stood there long enough that dog'd get up and run Struck me kinda funny seem kinda funny sir to me At the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe Now Mary Lou loved Johnny with a love mean and true She said "Baby I'll work for you every day and bring my money home to you" One day he up and left her and ever since that She waits down at the end of that dirt road for young Johnny to come back Struck me kinda funny seemed kind of funny sir to me How at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe Take a baby to the river Kyle William they called him Wash the baby in the water take away little Kyle's sin In a whitewash shotgun shack an old man passes away Take his body to the graveyard and over him they pray Lord won't you tell us tell us what does it mean Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe Congregation gathers down by the riverside Preacher stands with his Bible groom stands waitin' for his bride Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on so effortlessly Lord and he's wonderin' where can his baby be Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | This is for our new friends I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell what I felt I was unrecognizable to myself Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know my own face Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away On the streets of Philadelphia I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone At night I could hear the blood in my veins Just as black and whispering as the rain On the streets of Philadelphia Ain't no angel gonna greet me It's just you and I my friend And my clothes don't fit me no more I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake I can feel myself fading away So receive me brother with your faithless kiss or will we leave each other alone like this on the streets of Philadelphia  AOL - oanda1027fm | ||||
