Shut Out The Light (Album Version) - Bruce Springsteen
The runway rushed up at him
As he felt the wheels touch down
He stood out on the blacktop
And took a taxi into town
He got off down on main street
And went into a local bar
Bought a drink and found a seat
In the corner in the dark
When she called up her mama to make
Sure the kids were outa the house
She checked herself out
In the dining room mirror
And undid an extra button on her blouse
He felt her lyin next to him
And the clock said four am
He was starin at the ceilin
He couldn't move his hands
Oh mama mama
Mama come quick I've got
The shakes and
I'm gonna be sick throw your arms
Around me in the cold dark night
Hey now mama don't shut out the
Light don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Well on his porch they stretched
A banner that said johnny welcome home
Bobby pulled his ford outa the
Garage and they polished up the chrome
His mama said johnny oh johnny
I'm so glad to have you back with me
His pa said he was sure theyd give
Him his job back at the renderin factory
Oh mama mama mama come quick
I've got the shakes and
I'm gonna be sick throw your
Arms around me in the cold dark night
Hey now mama don't shut
Out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Well deep in a dark forest
A forest filled with rain

Beyond a stretch of maryland
Pines theres a river without a name
In the cold black water now johnson linnier stands
He stares across the lights of the
City and dreams of where her been
Oh mama mama mama come quick
I've got the shakes and
I'm gonna be sick throw your
Arms around me in the cold dark night
Hey now mama don't shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
Don't you shut out the light
