Bruce Springsteen - Candy's Boy lyrics

Well in Candy's room there are pictures of her savior on the wall But to get to Candy's room you've gotta 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'd go riding 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 there was nothin' left And drove that old car as hard and fast as she would go Well like a cold winter wind blowing in babe I needed 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 roughboys for hire And they're waiting to blow me and Candy down It's all right 'cause they can't touch us now they'll never destroy My sweet love for I will forever be Candy's boy My sweet love for I will forever be Candy's boy
