On the Born To Run album, BACKSTREETS was already six-and-a-half minute long, but in 1976, 1977, and 1978, the live performances of the song were extended with an interlude that is commonly known as the "Sad Eyes" interlude, a title probably assigned to it by bootleggers. Note that this interlude has nothing to do with SAD EYES, the 1990 outtake th...

Bruce Springsteen Lyrics. "Backstreets". One soft infested summer. Me and Terry became friends. Trying in vain to breathe. The fire we was born in. Catching rides to the outskirts. Tying faith between our teeth.
With a love so hard and filled with defeat. Running for our lives at night on them backstreets. Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing. Where desperate lovers park, we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings. Huddled in our cars, waiting for the bells that ring.
Aug 25, 1975 · Release Date. 25 August 1975. Lyrics. One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends. Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in. Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth. Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat.
