Darlington County - Bruce Springsteen

Driving in to Darlington County

Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July

Driving in to Darlington County

Looking for some work on the county line

We drove down from New York City

Where the girls are pretty but they just want to know your name

Driving in to Darlington City

Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne’s

We drove eight hundred miles without seeing a cop

We got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top singing

Sha la la la la la la la la, Sha la la la la la la

Hey little girl standing on the corner

Today’s your lucky day for sure all right

Me and my buddy we’re from New York City

We got two hundred dollars we want to rock all night

Girl you’re looking at two big spenders

Why the world don’t know what me and Wayne might do

Our pa’s each own one of the World Trade Centers

For a kiss and a smile I’ll give mine all to you

Come on baby take a seat on my fender

It’s a long night and tell me what else were you gonna do

Just me and you we could

Sha la la…

Little girl sitting in the window

Ain’t seen my buddy in seven days

County man tells me the same thing

He don’t work and he don’t get paid

Little girl you’re so young and pretty

Walk with me and you can have your way

And we’ll leave this Darlington City

For a ride down that Dixie Highway

Driving out of Darlington County

My eyes seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

Driving out of Darlington County

Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper’s Ford
