Eddie and The Cruisers was a made for film rock band for the movies Eddie and the Cruisers I & II. The part of the lead singer 'Eddie Wilson' was played by Micheal Pare. Only two cast members, Michael "Tunes" Antunes, the tenor saxophone player for John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, and Helen Schneider were professional musicians in the fictional band. The Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack was written produced and performed by John Cafferty and The Brown Beaver Band.

Walk with me down this boardwalk one last time again CG We'll see those pretty pier lights, hear those carnival sounds CDG Gonna stop right at the top tonight, when the ferris wheel goes 'round

Tomorrow I'll be leavin' on that morning train C Gonna leave this candy apple town behind G And get out while I still can CDG Goin' to New York city, with this guitar in my hand
BREAK: GCG Been wishin' on these stars too long, been playin' in these bars too long CG Been hold up in your arms too long, been a prisoner of my heart too long CG Goin' to New York city, gonna find out where I stand DCG Then I'll be walking down Broadway, with this guitar in my hand
