Candy's Boy - Bruce Springsteen

In Candy’s room their are pictures of her saviour on the wall

But to get to Candy’s room, you got to walk the darkness of Candy’s hall

Strangers from the city call my baby’s number and they bring Candy toys

But when I come knockin', she smiles pretty, she knows tonight I’m gonna be Candy’s boy.

Well, in the olden days when the Mongolian gangs rode herd out on Route 9

We go ridin' in the rain, runnin' south, way down through the pines

Weekends in the sun in that cheap motel down by the Dynamo

We loved each other till their was nothing left and drove that old car as hard

and fast as she would go.

Well, I got a cold winter wind blowin' behind me and you

But Candy’s got a man who takes care of her better than I do.

Well there’s machines and there’s fire waiting for us on the edge of town*

And there’s some boys for hire and there waiting to blow me and Candy down

And that’s alright cause they can’t touch us now babe it seems

Cause I know that I will forever be Candy’s boy

Mmmmm, I will forever be Candy’s boy, alright.

Let’s do the intro.

Once more.
