Текст песни Reason To Believe - Bruce Springsteen

Seen a man standin' over a dead dog
By the highway in a ditch
He's lookin' down kinda puzzled
Pokin' that dog with a stick

Got his car door flung open
He's standin' out on Highway 31
Like if he stood there long enough
That dog'd get up and run

Struck me kinda funny
Seemed kinda funny sir to me
Still at the end of every hard day
People find some reason to believe

Now Mary Lou loved Johnny
With a love mean and true
She said baby I'll work for you everyday
Bring my money home to you

One day he up and left her
And ever since that
She waits down at the end of that dirt road
For young Johnny to come back

Struck me kinda funny
Funny yeah indeed
How at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe

Take a baby to the river
Kyle William they called him
Wash the baby in the water
Take away little Kyle's sin

In a whitewash shotgun shack
An old man passes away
Take the body to the graveyard
Over him they pray

Lord won't you tell us
Tell us what does it mean?
At the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe

Congregation gathers
Down by the riverside
Preacher stands with a bible
Groom stands waitin' for his bride

Congregation gone the sun sets
Behind a weepin' willow tree
Groom stands alone and watches the river
Rush on, so effortlessly

Wonderin'
Where can his baby be
Still at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe
