Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
The runway rushed up at him as he felt the wheels touch down | |
He stood out on the blacktop and took a taxi into town | |
He got out down on Main Street and went into a local bar | |
He bought a drink and found a seat in a corner off the dark | |
Well she called up her mama to make sure the kids were out of the house | |
She checked herself out in the dining room mirror | |
And undid an extra button on her blouse | |
He felt her lying next to him, the clock said 4:00 am | |
He was staring at the ceiling | |
He couldn't move his hands | |
CHORUS | |
Oh mama mama mama come quick | |
I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick | |
Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night | |
Hey now mama don't shut out the light | |
Don't you shut out the light | |
Don't you shut out the light | |
Don't you shut out the light | |
Don't you shut out the light | |
Well on his porch they stretched a banner that said 'Johnny Welcome Home' | |
Bobby pulled his Ford out of the garage and they polished up the chrome | |
His mama said 'Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to have you back with me' | |
His pa said he was sure they'd give him his job back down at the factory | |
CHORUS | |
Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain | |
Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name | |
In the cold black water Johnson Lineir stands | |
He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where he's been | |
CHORUS |

Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there' s a river without a name | |
In the cold black water Johnson Lineir stands | |
He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where he' s been | |
