"SHUT OUT THE LIGHT"
by Bruce Springsteen
Milwaukee 08/07/05 pump organ version
Well the Drunway rushed up at him
And he fGelt the wheels touch down
He sDtood out on the blacktop
And took a Ataxi into town
He gDot out down on main street
and went Ginto a local bar
He bDought a drink and he found a seat
In a cAorner in the dark.
She caDlled up her momma
To get the Gkids out of the house
She cDhecked herself out in the dining room mirror
and undid an extra Abutton on her blouse
He fDelt her lying next to him
When the cGlock read four a.m
he was Dstarin' at the Aceiling
couldn't move his Dhands...
MGomma, momma, momma come qDuick
I Ggot the shakes and I'm gonna be sDick
Put your Garms around me in the cold dark night
HDey now momma won't you sAhut out the lDight
won't you sGhut out the light
won't you sDhut out the light
won't you sGhut out the light
won't you sAhut out the Dlight
0n his Dporch they stretched a banner
saying &Gquot;Johnny, WelcomDe Home"
Poppa pulled his ford out of the garage
and they pAolished up the chrome
His Dmomma said "Johnny oh Johnny
I'm so glad to Ghave you back with me"
DPoppa said he's sure they'd give him his job back
Adown at the factorDy
GMomma, momma, momma come Dquick
I Ggot the shakes and I'm gonna be sDick
Put your Garms around me in the cold dark night
HDey now momma won't you sAhut out the lDight
won't you sGhut out the light
won't you sDhut out the light
won't you sGhut out the light
won't you sAhut out the Dlight
Now dDeep in the dark forest,
a fGorest filled with pain,
beyDond a strip of maryland pines
there's a Ariver without a name
In the cDold grey morning
Mel JGohnson he here stands
He stDares out at the lights of the city
and dAreams of where he's Dbeen

Momma, momma, momma come quick
