They're still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview

And a style she's trying to maintain
Well if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found

Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abram's Bridge
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
Everybody's got a secret Sonny

Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take

Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
Where no one asks any questions

Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town


Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife

Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
Tonight I'll be on that hill `cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got

Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found

In the darkness on the edge of town
