Bruce Springsteen - Shut out the Light
E
The Erunway rushed up at him as he felt tAhe wheels touch dEown
He sEtood out on the blacktop and took a tBaxi into town
He gEot out down on Main Street and went iAnto a local bEar
He bEought a drink and foBund a seat in a cAorner in the dark
Well she cEalled up her mama to make sAure the kids were out of the house
She cEhecked herself out in the dining room mirror
And undid an extBra button on her blouse
He feElt her lying next to him, the cAlock said 4:00 aEm
He wEas staring at the cBeiling
He couldn't move his hEands
CHORUS:
Oh mAa-ma ma-ma ma-ma Ecome quick
I've Agot the shakes and I'm Egonna be sick
Throw your aArms around me in the Ecold dark night
HeyB now mama don't Eshut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sEhut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sBhut out the lEight
Well on his pEorch they stretched a banner that said A"Johnny Welcome HEome"
Bobby Epulled his Ford out of the garage and they Bpolished up the chrome
His maEma said "Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to hAave you back with Eme"
His Epa said he was sure they'd gBive him his job back down at the factoryE
CHORUS:
Oh mAa-ma ma-ma ma-ma Ecome quick
I've Agot the shakes and I'm Egonna be sick
Throw your aArms around me in the Ecold dark night
HeyB now mama don't Eshut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sEhut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sBhut out the lEight
Well dEeep in a dark forest, a fAorest filled with rEain
BeyoEnd a stretch of Maryland pines there's a Briver without a name
In the cEold black water JoAhnson Leneir sEtands
He sEtares across the lBights of the city and dreams of where he's bEeen
CHORUS:
Oh mAa-ma ma-ma ma-ma Ecome quick
I've Agot the shakes and I'm Egonna be sick
Throw your aArms around me in the Ecold dark night
HeyB now mama don't Eshut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sEhut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sEhut out the light
Don't you sAhut out the light
Don't you sBhut out the lEight
