Wings for Wheels

Bruce Springsteen

    Continues after the ad

    The screen door slams, christine's (angelina's) dress waves
    Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
    Roy orbison singing for the lonely
    (Hey) that's me (babe) and I want you only
    Don't turn me home again
    I just can't face myself alone (in that mirror) again tonight
    Don't run back inside, you know just what I'm here for
    So you're scared and you're thinking
    That maybe you (we) ain't that young anymore
    Show a little faith (well woman) there's magic in the night
    You ain't a beauty but hey (baby, ah) you're alright
    And that's alright with me

    This 4/4 she's gonna overheat
    Make up your mind girl I gotta get her back out on the street
    I know you're lonely like me so baby don't try and fake it
    I'm no prince and I can't lay the stars at your feet
    But I got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat
    There's plenty of room in my front seat, baby if you wanna take it

    Continues after the ad

    Oh roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
    It's like the rushing touch, the dirty wings them highway angels wear
    Well tonight we're gonna find out how it feels
    I'm gonna trade in your wings - for wheels
    Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
    Ah, mama, come take my hand (well now try hard chrissie to understand)
    We're gonna ride all the way to the promised land
    Oh I'm gonna dance all the way, dance all the way
    (Babe if you're born with nothing in your hands
    Hey it's your only chance)
    Well I don't know but baby I've been told
    There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road
    Oh take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
    (Oh I wish you would come
    So leave what you've lost, leave what's grown old on thunder road)

    Well now I bought this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
    I got my car parked out back if you're ready to take that long walk
    From your front porch to my front seat
    Well I think we could take it all babe, just you and me
    Climb in back baby, the ride's for free
    Oh come take my hand, we're gonna ride all the way to the promised land
    We'll dance all the way
    Oh baby I don't know but I've been told
    There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road
    If we take our chance, take our chance

    Now the season's over and I feel it getting cold
    I wish I could take you to some sandy beach where we'd never grow old
    Ah but baby you know that's just jive
    But tonight's bustin' open and I'm alive
    Oh do (baby) whay you can to make me feel like a man
    But this 4/4/2's gonna overheat
    Make up your mind girl, I gotta get her back out on the street
    I know you're lonely like me, oh so don't fake it
    And maybe I can't lay the stars at your feet
    But I got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat
    There's plenty of room in my front seat
    Oh if you think you can make it, climb in (so christine climb in)
    This is town full of losers and baby I was born to win
