They're still racing out at the Trestles   But that blood never burned in her veins   Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview   And a style she's trying to maintain   Well if she wants to see me   You can tell her that I'm easily found   Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge   And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town      Everybody's gotta secret Sonny   Something that they just can't face   Some folks spend their whole lives   trying to keep it   They carry it with them every step that they take   Till some day they just cut it loose   Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down   Where no one asks any questions   Or looks too long in your face   In the darkeness on the edge of town      Some folks are born into a good life   Other folks get it anyway anyhow   I lost my money and I lost my wife   Them things don't seem to matter much to me now   Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop   I'll be on that hill with everything I got   Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost   I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost   For wanting things that can only be found   In the darkness on the edge of town
