Текст песни Maria's Bed - Live at Tower Theater, Upper Darby, PA - 5/17/2005 - Bruce Springsteen

Been on a barbed wire highway forty days and nights
I ain't complain', it's my job and it suits me right
I got a sweet soul fever rushin' around my head
And I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed

Got on a dead man's suit and smilin' skull ring
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work, my troubles in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed

Hey-hey, nai-nai-nai-nai, nai-nai-nai
Hey-yeah, nai-nai-nai-nai, nai-nai-nai

I been up on sugar mountain, 'cross the sweet blue sea
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
I got run outta luck and gave myself up for dead
Then I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed

She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon
One sweet breath and she'll take you, mister, to the upper room
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed

I been out in the desert, yeah, doin' my time
Siftin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign
Holy man said, "Hold on, brother, there's a light up ahead"
Ain't nothin' like the light that shines on me in Maria's bed

Man, I take my blessings at the river head
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed
Nai-nai-nai-nai, nai-nai-nai
Hey-yeah, nai-nai-nai-nai, nai-nai-nai
Hey-yeah, nai-nai-nai-nai, nai-nai-nai
Hey-yeah, nai-nai-nai, oh, bring it down now

A-one, two, go
