[Intro]
This is for anybody who, uh
Ever drove through the darkness on the edge of town

[Verse 1]
Well, they're still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood, it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
And a style she's trying to maintain

[Chorus 1]
Well, if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge, and tell her
There's a darkness on the еdge of town
There's a darknеss on the edge of town

[Verse 2]
Well, everybody's got a secret, son
Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take

[Chorus 2]
'Til some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
You can drive all night
And never make it around
The darkness on the edge of town
The darkness on the edge of town, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway, anyhow
Then I lost my money, then I lost my wife
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now

[Chorus]
Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
