Bruce Springsteen
"Breakaway"
Sonny abandoned his car last night
Had a meeting on the docks with a light blue Monterrey
To breakaway
Sonny was playing all his cards last night
In a hotel room he dealt his life away
To breakaway
How the promises and lies they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay
To breakaway, oh, breakaway
Oh, run, they run
They run, they run, they race
And breakaway
Janey slipped from behind the bar last night
Cashed out and walked onto the streets ready and dressed
To breakaway
Janey slid into a car last night (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
In a parking lot she gave her soul away (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And the promises and the lies they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay
To breakaway, oh, breakaway
Oh, run, they run
They run, they run, they race
And breakaway
[sax solo]
Bobby laid 'neath the sheet of stars last night
His back on blacktop still warm from the heat of the day
And breakaway
Bobby went down hard last night (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
Saw a shooting star as the evening lights slipped away (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And the promises and the lies they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay
To breakaway, oh, breakaway
Oh, run, they run
They run, they run, they race
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la)
