Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen Billy he's down by the railroad tracks Sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac
Diamond Jackie, she's so intact As she falls so softly beneath him
Jackie's heels are stacked Billy's got cleats on his boots
Together they're gonna boogaloodown Broadway and come back home with the loot
It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute It's a mad dog's promenade So walk tall or baby don't walk at all
Fish lady, oh fish lady She baits them tenement walls
She won't take corner boys They ain't got no money And they're so easy
I said "Hey, baby Won't you take my hand Walk with me down Broadway
Well mama take my arm and move with me down Broadway"
I'm a young man, I talk it real loud Yeah babe I walk it real proud for you
Ah so shake it away So shake away your street life Shake away your city life
Hook up to the train And hook up to the night train Hook it up Hook up to the train
But I know that she won't take the train, no she won't take the train Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down And when she turns this boy'll be gone
So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on, walk on
Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade
Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy
Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man
He's singin', he's singin', he's singin'
All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley He's singin', singin', singin', singin'...
