Party Lights - Bruce Springsteen

I know the girls grow up fast where you come from

You left behind what was asked and you were married, baby, oh so young

Now that little girl of yours looks like she’s growing up overnight

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights when you’re lying in bed at night

He was gonna be your Romeo, you were going to be his Juliet

These days you don’t wait on Romeos, you just wait on that welfare check

While other girls your age are out with lovers taking in the night

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights when you’re lying in bed at night

Sometimes I see you on the street and you look so tired

I know that job you’ve got leaves you so uninspired

When I stop by to take you out to eat

I find you lying, all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep

Then as I lean across the bed, darlin', to switch out the light

I wonder if you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights when you’re lying in bed at night

Grab your coat and grab your hat, go in the bathroom put that makeup on

We’re gonna take that little brat, we’re gonna drop her off at your Mom’s

Just give me a sign, I’m waiting on the line tonight

If you miss the party lights

If you miss the party lights

If you miss the party lights when you’re lying in bed at night

Do you miss the party lights when you’re lying in bed at night

Do you miss the party lights

Do you miss the party lights
