Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
Seen a man standin' over a dead dog lyin' by the highway in a ditch | |
He's lookin' down kinda puzzled pokin' that dog with a stick | |
Got his car door flung open he's standin' out on highway 31 | |
Like if he stood there long enough that dog'd get up and run | |
Struck me kinda funny seem kinda funny sir to me | |
Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe | |
Now Mary Lou loved Johnny with a love mean and true | |
She said 'Baby I'll work for you every day and bring my money home to you' | |
One day he up and left her and ever since that | |
She waits down at the end of that dirt road for young Johnny to come back | |
Struck me kinda funny seemed kind of funny sir to me | |
How at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe | |
Take a baby to the river Kyle William they called him | |
Wash the baby in the water take away little Kyle's sin | |
In a whitewash shotgun shack an old man passes away take his body to the graveyard and over him they pray Lord won't you tell us | |
tell us what does it mean | |
Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe | |
Congregation gathers down by the riverside | |
Preacher stands with his Bible groom stands waitin' for his bride | |
Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin' willow tree | |
Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on so effortlessly | |
Wonderin' where can his baby be still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe |
