G C 2x
Well they're still racing out at the trestles
But that blood it never burned in their 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 beneath Abram's Bridge
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
There's a darkness on the edge of town
Now everybody's got a secret Sonny
Just something that they just can't face
Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till someday 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
        
           
Now some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
Well me, 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
