Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.
Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.

E You say you have a best friend, you trust him with your life
You trust him with your money, you trust him with your kids
You'd even trust him with your wife
AsusD You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out AsusGD When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around AsusGE E* When the lights are out, down in this dirty little town
E E* E E*
E Well now the world is dark and funny, better listen up to what I say
You ain't gonna know what's going on by what you see in the light of day
AsusD You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out AsusGD When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around AsusGE E* Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town
E E* E E*
AsusEAsusE Now, Baby, she trusted Billy, within reason, you understand? AsusE But he kept coming home late at night N.C.*(tap guitar) And in the morning he had that smell on his hands
E E* E E*
E Well now the world is turning, Rome is burning
Me, I'm watching and I'm learning
They say sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock
The lord's light will shine under every dirty rock
Last night I slept the sleep of fear
And I heard God's voice whispering in my ear
AsusD He said, you better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out AsusGD When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around AsusGE Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town
GE Down in this dirty little town GE Down in this dirty little town GE E* Down in this dirty little town
