Darlington County Lyrics

Driving in to Darlington County
Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July
Driving in to Darlington County
Looking for some work on the county line
We drove down from New York City
Where the girls are pretty but they just want to know your name
Driving in to Darlington City
Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne's
We drove eight hundred miles without seeing a cop
We got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top
Singing

Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la, hey eh
Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

Hey little girl, standing on the corner
Today's your lucky day for sure, all right
Me and my buddy, we're from New York City
We got two hundred dollars, we want to rock all night
Girl, you're looking at two big spenders
Why the world don't know what me and Wayne might do
Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers
For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you
Come on bab,y take a seat on my fender
It's a long night and tell me what else were you gonna do?
Just me and you, we could

Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

Little girl, sitting in the window
Ain't seen my buddy in seven days (play it boys)
County man tells me the same thing
He don't work and he don't get paid
Little girl, you're so young and pretty
Walk with me and you can have your way
And we'll leave this Darlington City
For a ride down that Dixie Highway

Driving out of Darlington County
Eyes seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Driving out of Darlington County
Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper's Ford (woo)

Sha la la
Sha la la la la (ooh yeah)
Sha la la la la la la (big man)
Sha la la (where's he going?)
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la (come on)

Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la (woo)
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la (yeah, we gonna die, woo)

Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
Sha la la
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

What is the Meaning of Darlington County?

Buckle up, folks! 🚗 In "Darlington County," Bruce Springsteen takes us on a rollicking road trip filled with dreams of big city boys hitting small-town America. Our protagonists, armed with bravado and a bit of naiveté, dive into the heartland seeking work but find themselves more in tune with chasing girls and good times. It's a classic Boss tale of youthful exuberance clashing with reality—where the only job they land is a lesson in humility, courtesy of a state trooper’s Ford. So next time you're dreaming of ditching your day job for some adventure, just remember: it might end with your buddy handcuffed to a bumper! 😂
