Take 'Em as They Come (Studio Outtake - 1980)

Take 'Em as They Come - Bruce Springsteen

Written by：Bruce Springsteen

Four one two three four

Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands

Tears streaming your pretty face all a wreck

I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands

And down the highway another stranger comes

You gotta take 'em baby when they come

Little girl put on your best dress

'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight

Better bring along your switchblade

'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight

You've got to take 'em baby as they come

You gotta take 'em take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

God save the rider in the black night

Save the man who taught that it was right

To do what they have done

To become what we have become

You gotta take 'em baby when they come

Little girl gone are the days

Faded away into a clear blue night

And all the vows that we made

Lie shattered and broken in the morning light

You gotta take 'em baby when they come

You gotta take 'em take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

I know your heart is breaking

I can feel it too girl

Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'

Here I swear to you girl

If I could take all your sorrow

So that you'd never cry girl or be blue

Come tomorrow girl

That's what I'd do for you pretty one

I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come

You gotta take 'em take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

You gotta take 'em take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

Take 'em baby as they come

Take 'em baby as they come

Take 'em baby as they come

Take 'em baby as they come
