[Verse 1]
I know what it's like to have failed, baby
With the whole world looking on
I know what it's like to have soared
And come crashin' like a drunk on a barroom floor

[Chorus 1]
Now you've got no reason to trust me
My confidence is a little rusty
But if you don't feel like being alone
Baby, I could walk you all the way home

[Chorus 2]
Well now our old fears and failures, oh baby, they do linger
Like the shadow of that ring that was on your finger
Those days, they've come and gone
Baby, I could walk you all the way home

[Verse 2]
Love leaves nothin' but shadows and vapor
We go on, as is our sad nature, baby
Now it's some old Stones' song the band is trashin'
But if you feel like dancin', baby, I'm askin'

[Verse 3]
It's coming on closing time
Bartender, he's ringin' last call
These days I don't stand on pride
I ain't afraid to take a fall

[Chorus 3]
So if you're seein' what you like
Maybe your first choice, he's gone, well, that's all right
Baby, I could walk you all the way home
Baby, I could walk you all the way home

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
