They're still racing out at the Trestles
  But that blood it 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 got a 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 darkness 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
