TAKE 'EM AS THEY COME

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands

Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck

(I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands

And down the highway another stranger comes

You gotta take 'em baby when they come.

Little girl put on your best dress

'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight

(Better bring along your switchblades)

'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight

You've got to take 'em baby as they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em baby as they come

God save the rider in the black night

Save the man who taught that it was right

To do what they have done

To become what we have become

You gotta take 'em when they come

Little girl, gone are the days

Faded away into a clear blue night

And all the vows that we made

Lie shattered and broken in the morning light;

You gotta take 'em when they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em baby as they come

I know your heart is breaking

I can feel it too

Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'

Here I swear to you

If I could take all your sorrow so that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue

(Come tommorow)

That's what I'd do for you, pretty one

I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em baby as they come
