Where The Bands Are (Studio Outtake - 1979) Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

I hear the guitars ringin′ out
Ringin' out down Union Street
I hear the lead singer shoutin′ out girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat

Yeah tonight I wanna break my chains
Somebody break my heart
Somebody shake my brains
Downtown there's something that I wanna hear
There's a sound little girl keeps ringin′ in my ear

I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are

I get off from work and I grab something to eat
I turn the corner and I drive down your street
Little gray houses, darling, looks like nowhere
But hey I know you′re hidin' in there


Come on out for just a little while
You know that heart of stone girl it just ain′t your style
Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd
And when I tell you that I love you
I wanna have to shout it out loud
Shout it out loud
Shout it out loud

I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are

I hear the guitars ringin' out again
Ringin′ on down Union Street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
And I want something that′ll break my chains
Something to break my heart
Something to break my chains
There's a rocker's special on tonight
So meet me on down
′Neath the neon lights

I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are


Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
Where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
Where the bands are
