Badlands...the song

In honor of our trip through the Badlands, where--yes--this song was played many times on our iPod...

Badlands...Bruce Springsteen...from Darkness on the Edge of Town

Lights out tonight
Trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
Smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure
Girl I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in-betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul I want control right now

Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good

Workin' in the fields till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheel till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good


For the ones who had a notion,a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sinto be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me,
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
