[Verse 1]
It's one for the money and one for the show
I got one kiss for you, honey, so come on, let's go
I didn't see it coming, but girl, now I know
It takes one for the running, but two for the road

[Verse 2]
One thousand dreams whispered in the dark
But a dream's just a dream in one empty heart
It takes more than one to rev it up and go
So let's get it running, we're two for the road

[Verse 3]
Two one-way tickets and a diamond ring
Hell, it don't matter what the rain might bring
When this world treats you hard and cold
I'll stand beside you, we're two for the road

[Verse 4]
When you're alone, my love'll shine the light
Through the dark and starless night
I'll hold you close and never let you go
C'mon now, girl, 'cause we're two for the road

[Outro]
Well it's two to get ready, babe, c'mon let's go
Me and you, girl, we're two for the road

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.
