Atlantic City
Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band Lyrics

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last Night now they blew up his house too
There has been chaotic violence in the city as the chicken man was blown up along with his house

Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready For a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do
The boardwalk is a place of preparation for a fight between the racket boys

Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state And the D.A. can't get no relief Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and The gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
There is conflict coming from other states and the D.A. cannot handle it, there will be a confrontation on the promenade and the gambling commission is barely holding on

Everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Everything comes to an end but who knows, maybe they will return, so get ready and meet me in Atlantic City

Well I got a job and tried to put my money away But I got in too deep and I could not pay So I drew what I had from the Central Trust And I bough us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Although I had a job and intended to save money, I fell short and had to withdraw from Central Trust to buy us two bus tickets

Now our luck may have died and out love may Be cold but with you forever I'll stay We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold So put on your stockin's 'cause the night's getting' cold and maybe everything dies That's a fact but maybe everything that dies Someday comes back
Even though our luck and love may have deteriorated, I will always stick by you. We will head to a place where sand turns into gold. Put on some warm clothes as it might get cold, and remember everything ends but some things may come back

Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find Down here it's just winners and losers and Don't get caught on the wrong side of that line Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end So honey last night I met this guy and I'm Gonna do a little favor for him Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday Comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
It's been hard for me to find a job, everything seems to be about winning and losing and crossing the line could be detrimental. I'm tired of losing, so last night I met a guy and I'm going to do him a favor. Everything ends but who knows, maybe it'll come back. So put on some makeup, fix your hair and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
