Now you’re running with the right crowd
Well you better watch the friends you’re choosin'
Girl you’re a walking winner now
You better keep your eye on who’s doin’ the losin'
All the faces staring down your throat
All the eyes, darling, that are never closed
In your sadness, girl
Maybe there’s something that you ought to know

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin'
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

You’re running with the right crowd
Money and the wine are flowin’
You found your place with the right crowd
But you forgot about that storm, that storm that’s blowin’
(Dance on)
Let the music play
(Dance on)
Let the night roll to day
(Dance on)
Don’t listen to what they say
Just keep movin’ to the beat, to the beat, to the big beat

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

Will they punch your ticket as you grow old
Do you really get used to being bought and sold
Does that brand new dress keep out the cold
Do your brand new friends help you to keep
Your pretty eyes from seeing what they shouldn’t see
The sound of breaking glass and runnin’ feet
The sound of breaking glass and runnin’ feet
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know
Won’t you tell me baby I got to know

Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'
Night fire, the night fire is out in the dark burnin’
Night fire, the night fire is down in the street yearnin'

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.
