Bruce Springsteen - Rockaway The Days Lyrics
Billy got out of prison but he wasnt rightSome like to drink or gamble, billy liked to fightHe tracked back to his home state of marylandWent to his moms mobile home where she took him in, alrightChorus:Rockaway the days, rockaway the nightsGimme something to last me, baby, till the morning lightI aint lookin for trouble, I aint looking for a fightHoney rockaway these days, rockaway these nightsWell at a picnic one sunday billy met mary doveMary looked at billy, billy fell in loveBilly swore to mary hed always love her soThey were married in the valley where the river flows, alright(chorus)At a roadside bar billy argued with a young manAnd he settled that argument with a razor in his handWith blood on his shirt back to mary he did runShe sighed billy, oh billy, what have you done?He ran to his mas trailer but the lights were dimHe pounded on the door, she wouldnt let him inUp the road to a neighbors house he drew nearThey said billy go away, we dont want no trouble round hereBilly stole a car and headed out on the roadPocketful of pills and his brain on overloadSeen some lights in his rearview mirror, panicked and gave her the gunWrapped himself round a telephone pole way out on 101Well billy got cut out by the highway patrolJust lay there with the cars passing on slowSheriff told billys ma that billy diedShe buried his body by the riverside, alright(chorus)Well rich man want the power and the seat on the topPoor man want the money that the rich man gotHoney tonight Im feeling so tired and unsureCome on in mary, shut the light, close the door(chorus)
