Shut Out the Light Bruce Springsteen

[Verse 1]
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 out down on Main Street
And went into a local bar
He bought a drink and found a seat
In a corner in the dark

[Verse 2]
Well, she called up her mama
To make sure the kids were out of the house
She checked herself out in the dining room mirror
And undid an extra button on her blouse
He felt her lying next to him
And the clock said 4:00 am
He was staring at the ceiling
He couldn't move his hands

[Chorus]
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
