Songtexte Atlantic City - Live at Madison Square Garden - Bruce Springsteen

They blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
Now, they blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk, they're getting ready for a hell of a fight
Gonna see what those racket boys can do

Now, there's trouble bustling in from outta state
And the D-A can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gambling commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth

Everything dies, maybe, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Well now, luck may have died and love may be cold
But with you forever, I'll stay
We're goin' out where the sand's turning to gold
So put on your stockings, baby, 'cause the night's gettin' cold
And everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Well maybe someday

One, two, three

Well now, I've been looking for a job, but it's hard to find
It's down here, it's just winners and losers
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Well, I'm tired of comin' out on this losing end
So, honey, last night I met this guy
And I'm gonna do a little favor for him

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

C'mon and meet me (meet me tonight in Atlantic City)
C'mon and meet me (meet me tonight in Atlantic City)
C'mon and meet me (meet me tonight in Atlantic City)
C'mon and meet me (meet me tonight in Atlantic City), yeah, tonight
C'mon and meet me (meet me tonight in Atlantic City), yeah, tonight

C'mon and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
C'mon and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
C'mon and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
C'mon and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
