Bruce Springsteen - Linda let me be the one

The midnight boys are outside
Scraping tears up off the street
Standin` guard beneath th window
Where only Linda sleeps
The leader is a kid named Eddie
Walkin` like an angel in defeat
He trashes her old man`s car, slashes Linda`s name in the seat
And calls out

Chorus:
Linda will you let me be the one (4x)

In a romm full of contenders
Eddie spars `tl he drops to his be and surrenders
Draped in the scarves
He stole fromL inda`s bedrrom
The night he layed at her feet
When the midnight boys were stranded
Down on Cason Street

Repeat Chorus

In the basement of St. Mary`s
Eddie hides from the rain
In with the stolen sisters `til the streets are dry again
Talkin` fast cars and spare parts
Empty homes and broken hearts
Distant worlds with strange girls
And kneeling with Linda in the dark

Repeat Chorus
