breakaway
bruce springsteen
sonny abandoned his car last night
had a meeting on the docks with a light blue monterrey
sonny was playing all his cards last night
in a hotel room he dealt his life away
now the promises and the lies they demand it
let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay
janie slipped from behind the bar last night
cashed out and walked onto streets rainy and grey
janie slid into a car last night
in a parking lot she gave her soul away
now the promises and the lies they demand it
let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay
bobby lay 'neath a sheet of stars last night
his back on blacktop still warm from the heat of the day
bobby went down hard last night
saw a shooting star as the evening light slipped away
now the promises and the lies they demand it
let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay
