Lyrics: Child Bride
Album: Unknown
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
 

A lovely, poignant song
About a man fated to be kept apart from his true love

"well, sometimes i dream of gettin’ outta here,
Headin’ down towards them old tracks
I swore i’d come and get her
But i know i ain’t never goin’ back

"there’s nights i can’t sleep
No matter how hard i try
So from my window i watch the moonlight
Fall on the far hillside

"i imagine i put on my jacket,
Go down to this little roadside bar
Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor
To a mexican guitar"
