They're still racing at the TrestlesBut that blood it never
burned in her veinsNow I hear she's got a house up in
FairviewAnd a style she's trying to maintainWell if she
wants to see meYou can tell her that I'm easily foundTell
her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's BridgeAnd
tell here there's aDarkness on the edge of
townEverybody's got a secret SonnySomething that they just
can't faceSome folks spend their whole lives trying to keep
itThey carry it with them every step that they takeTill some day
they just cut it looseCut it loose or let it drag 'em
downWhere no one asks any questionsOr looks too long in your
faceIn the darkness on the edge of townSome folks are born into a
good lifeOther folks get it anyway anyhowI lost my money and I
lost my wifeThen things don't seem to matter much to me
nowTonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't
stopI'll be on that hill with everything I gotLives on the
line where dreams are found and lostI'll be there on time
and I'll pay the costFor wanting things that can only be
foundIn the darkness on the edge of town
