Shut Out The Light(Single B-Side - 1984) - Bruce Springsteen

作词：Bruce Springsteen

作曲：Bruce Springsteen

The runway rushed up at him

As he felt the wheels touch down

He stood out on the blacktop

And took a taxi into town

He got off down on main street

And went into a local bar

Bought a drink and found a seat

In the corner in the dark

When she called up her mama to make

Sure the kids were outa the house

She checked herself out

In the dining room mirror

And undid an extra button on her blouse

He felt her lyin next to him

And the clock said four am

He was starin at the ceilin

He couldn't move his hands

Oh mama mama

Mama come quick I've got

The shakes and

I'm gonna be sick throw your arms

Around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut out the

Light don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Well on his porch they stretched

A banner that said johnny welcome home

Bobby pulled his ford outa the

Garage and they polished up the chrome

His mama said johnny oh johnny

I'm so glad to have you back with me

His pa said he was sure theyd give

Him his job back at the renderin factory

Oh mama mama mama come quick

I've got the shakes and

I'm gonna be sick throw your

Arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut

Out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Well deep in a dark forest

A forest filled with rain

Beyond a stretch of maryland

Pines theres a river without a name

In the cold black water now johnson linnier stands

He stares across the lights of the

City and dreams of where her been

Oh mama mama mama come quick

I've got the shakes and

I'm gonna be sick throw your

Arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light
