[Verse 1]
I got seven pictures of Buddha, the prophet's on my tongue
Eleven angels of mercy sighing over that black hole in the sun
My heart's dark but it's rising, I'm pulling all the faith I can see
From that black hole on the horizon, I hear your voice calling me

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

[Chorus]
Meet me at Mary's place, we're going to have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're going to have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started?
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place

[Verse 2]
Familiar faces around me, laughter fills the air
Your loving grace surrounds me, everybody's here
Furniture's out on the front porch, music's up loud
I dream of you in my arms, I lose myself in the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

[Chorus]
Meet me at Mary's place, we're going to have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're going to have a party
Tell me, how do you live broken-hearted?
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place

[Bridge]
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place

[Verse 3]
I got a picture of you in my locket, I keep it close to my heart
This light shining in my breast, leading me through the dark
Seven days, seven candles in my window, light your way
Your favorite record's on the turntable, I drop the needle and pray

[Verse 4]
Band's counting out midnight, floor's rumbling loud
Singer's calling up daylight, waiting for that shout from the crowd
Waiting for that shout from the crowd
Waiting for that shout from the crowd
Waiting for that shout from the crowd
Waiting for that shout from the crowd
Waiting for that shout from the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

[Chorus]
Meet me at Mary's place, we're going to have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're going to have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started?
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Oh, meet me at Mary's place
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

Bruce Springsteen

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.
