Until the end...
Just me and you, baby
Just me and you, girl
And I remember...
And I remember we used to promise
You said 'til I got the money, 'til we got the money
You was never going to go anyplace without me
And I remember when I took all the money out of the bank
And you was going to quit your job
I was going to quit my job, too
Oh, I remember
Well, I remember
I remember the night...
It was in the basement at St. John's that you promised
That you was never going to go anyplace except (dah?)
I don't want to go anyplace (with me?)
And I remember
And the rain came tumbling down
And I remember it was a Sunday
And I was down at the corner
And I was waiting for you
As the rain came tumbling down
And I remember I stood
I was waiting at the bus station
And the buses were pulling in and pulling out
And I was standing there, and I remember, this newspaper on my head
And the rain came tumbling down
And I was thinking of you and waiting
And I remember that you promised
And the rain came tumbling down
And all the while I was standing there
I was just remembering how you promised
And the rains came tumbling down
And I remember that you promised
As the rain came tumbling down
And that's when I knew
That's when I knew
And I remember you swore to me
And that's when I knew
And that's when I knew

3. Sad Eyes (The Auditorium, Jacksonville, FL 3/4/77)
On the backstreets until the end...
Until the end...
It's me and you, baby
Yeah, me and you, girl (?)
We were going to steal away
We were going to steal away
We were going to slip away
Damn it, we had it all figured out
You was going to quit your job
And I was going to quit my job, too
And I remember
Ooh, I remember
Those long weekends, we used to...
This guy had abandoned this old car
in the middle of this field about
two, three miles outside of town
And we used to hitchhike out there and
It was about two, three hundred feet off the tracks
I remember this night we were out there
Riding
We were out there riding in back
Oh, way down by the railroad tracks
Oh, in the backseat
In backseat
In the backseat of that old Cadillac
Baby, used to ride in the back
Oh darling, take me back
Ooh, won't you take me back
And I'm waiting down...
And I remember this night
I remember there was this farmhouse
About a mile up the road
And these kids, they set...
there was a van, these kids set fire to it that night
And they had these machines down there
And they had this fire down there
It was just burning out of control
And there was sitting in the backseat of the car and
And at night, we could see the flames shooting in the air
And see the water shooting in the air
And I remember you promised that you was never going to go
You swore you was never going any...
go anyplace in this town without me
and I remember you promised
And I remember how we swore to it
And I remember sitting on the hood of the car
nd watching it rushing toward us
Watching the fire rushing toward us
Watching the fire rushing toward us
Watching the fields turn to red to orange
And I remember standing on the corner
I remember standing on the corner
My car...
Yeah, my suit case packed
Oh, we were going to make some tracks, make some tracks
And the rain was falling down
I remember Joey the cop asking me what I was waiting for
And I stood there
and time went by
And the night went by
And I'm standing there, three in the morning,
And just wishing
Just wishing that God would send down some angels
And blow this whole town into the sea
Just wishing that God would send some angels
And blow this whole town right into the sea
Just wishing that God would send some angels
And blow this whole town right into the sea
Just wishing that God would send some angels
And blow us all away
And blow us all away
And blow us all away
And blow us all away
Because you promised
And blow us all away
Because you promised
And blow us all away
Because you promised
Just blow it all away
Because you promised
Just blow it all away
Because you promised
You promised
Because you promised
Because you promised
And because....
You lied!!!

4. Sad Eyes (Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA 3/25/77)
On the backstreets until the end...
'Til the end
Me and you, baby
It's me and you, girl
I remember running back..
And I remember this guy abandoned this car
In this field about a mile and a half outside of town
And at night, just me and her, and Billy used to hitchhike out there.
I remember the kids, they stripped down the outside of it
'til there was almost nothing left
But the interior, the insides were still all right
And we'd ride way down by the railroad tracks
We'd go riding in the backseat
Baby'd take me riding in the backseat
In the backseat
In the backseat
In the backseat
Of that old Cadillac
The kid's got cleats on his boots
Whoa-oh, her heels are stacked
Yeah, in the backseat
Ooh, take me down
Hey, Terry
Take me down
And the world, and it spins
round and round and round
And down and down and down
And round and round and round we go
And down and down and down
And I remember these kids that night
They set fire to this abandoned farmhouse
That was about half a mile up the tracks
And they had these machines down there
And they had these engines down there
And we could see the flames shooting out across the sky
'Til it caught in the field
We sat up on the hood and watched it rushing towards us
Watching the flames rushing toward us
Watched it rushing toward us across the field
'Til we ran back on the tracks
And started heading back into town
And then...
And then
And then she kissed me
And then she kissed me
And then she kissed me
And then she kissed me
Waa-ooh Mmmmm hmmm
And then she promised
And then she promised
And then she promised
And then she lied
And then she lied
And then she lied
And then she lied
She lied
She lied
She lied
Pretty li-li-li-lies
Pretty li-li-li-lies
And I was just wishing
I remember praying that god would send some angels
And blow this whole damn town right in to the sea
I remember wishing that god would send some angels
And blow this whole fucking town right in to the sea
Just wishing that god would send some angels
And blow this whole damn town right in to the sea
Just blow this whole...
Just blow it in to sea
Just blow it all away
Just blow it all away
Just blow it all away
BLOW IT ALL AWAY!
BLOW IT ALL AWAY!

And I will never never make you blue
And we'll go running
We'll go running
Back out along the highways
Back down along through the fields
Down the alleys
And I will never never make you blue
And I will never never make you blue
Down, down to the backstreets
On the backstreets until the end
'Til the end...
It's me and you, baby
It's me and you, girl
And I remember you from back then
And I remember you from back then
And I remember back then I swore
That for you, I'd drive all night
Any time, any place
That for you, I'd drive all night
Any time, any place
That for you, I'd drive all night
Through the wind
Through the rain
Through the snow
Just... Just to buy you some shoes
Just to check you out
Just to kiss that pretty face
Just to taste your tender charms
And just to sleep...
Just to sleep in your arms
Babe, maybe you wasn't even listening
Maybe you wasn't even listening
But I remember you promised that you'd never go anyplace without me
You swore that you'd never go anyplace without me
You promised that you'd never leave without me
You swore that you'd never leave without me
And like everything else
And everybody else from back then
You promised
And baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Little girl you lied
And so now you've come back
And so now you've come back
So now you've come back
But just what makes you think that it's so easy
Just what makes you think
That's it's so easy
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
Hiding on the backstreets...
