Where The Bands Are Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Where The Bands Are

I hear the guitars ringin out
Ringin out down union street
I hear the lead singer shoutin out, girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
Yeah, tonight I wanna break my chains
Somebody break my heart
Somebody shake my brains
Downtown theres something that I wanna hear
Theres a sound, little girl, keeps ringing in my ear

[chorus]
I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
I get off from work and I grab something to eat
I turn the corner and I drive down your street
Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere
But hey I know youre hiding in there
Come on out for just a little while
You know that heart of stone, girl, it just aint your style
Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd
And when I tell you that I love you
I wanna have to shout it out loud
Shout it out loud

[chorus]

I hear the guitars ringin out again
Ringin on down union street
I hear the lead singer shoutin out and girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
And I want something thatll break my chains
Something to break my heart
Something to shake my brains
Theres a rockers special on tonight
So meet me on down
neath the neon lights

[chorus]
