"Take 'Em As They Come" lyrics - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands
Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck
(I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands)
And down the highway another stranger comes
You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come
Little girl put on your red dress
'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight
(Better bring along a switchblade)
'Cause, for sure, some fool's gonna wanna fight
You've got to take 'em, baby, as they come
You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em, baby, as they come
God save the rider in the black night
Save the man who taught that it was right
(To do what they have done, girl)
To become what we have become
You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come
Little girl, gone are the days
Faded away into the clear blue night
(And all the vows that we made)
Lie shattered and broken in the morning light
You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come
You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em, baby, as they come
I know your heart is breakin'
I can feel it too, girl
Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'
Here I swear to you, girl
If I could take all your sorrow so that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue
(Come tomorrow)
That's what I'd do for you, pretty one
I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em, baby, as they come
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em, baby, as they come
Take 'em, baby, as they come
Take 'em, baby, as they come
Take 'em, baby, as they come
