Bruce Springsteen - Shut Out The Light Lyrics
The runway rushed up at him, as he felt the wheels touch downHe stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town.He got off down on main street, and went into a local barBought a drink and found a seat in the corner in the darkShe called up her mama to make sure the kids were outa the houseShe checked herself out in the dining room mirror,And undid an extra button on her blouseHe felt her lyin next to him and the clock said 4 amHe was starin at the ceilin he couldnt move his hands{chorus}: oh mama, mama, mama come quick, Ive got the shakes andIm gonna be sick, throw your arms around me in the cold dark night,Hey now mama dont shut out the light, dont you shut out the light,....Well on his porch they stretched a banner, that said johnny welcome homeBobby pulled his ford outa the garage and they polished up the chromeHis mama said johnny oh johnny, Im so glad to have you back with meHis pa said he was sure theyd give him his job back at the renderin factory{repeat chorus}Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rainBeyond a stretch of maryland pines theres a river without a nameIn the cold black water, johnson linnier standsHe stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where hes been.{repeat chorus}
