VERSE 1
Well they're still racing out at the trestles
But that blood it never burned in their veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
And a style she's trying to maintain
CHORUS
Well if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Tell her there's a spot out neath Abram's Bridge
Tell her
There's a darkness on the edge of town
There's a darkness on the e-d-g-e of town
VERSE 2
Well everybody's got a secret Sonny
Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives
Trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
CHORUS
Till someday they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the e-d-g-e of town
VERSE 3
Some folks are born into a good life
And other folks get it anyway anyhow
Well now I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
CHORUS
Tonight I'll be on that hill cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with every thing I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time ready to pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the e-d-g-e of town
