This song shows a new maturity and suggests that Springsteen likes to revisit older material and expand on it. He has found a woman and realises their is a price to pay for romantic love as well. In this song, in the midst of adulthood, he is beginning to understand that there is a price to pay for not just realising your dreams, but even having them. In that song is reflected the enthusiasm of youth and boldness with the line: I've packed my bags and I'm heading strait into the storm" He is expecting trials: "Gonna be a twister to blow everything down that ain't got the strength to stand it's ground", Nevertheless, he believes that even nature itself is behind him: "The dogs on mainstreet howl, cause they understand if I could reach one moment into my hands, Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man, and I believe in a promised land". This song is literally the sequel to the song "Promised Land" from Darkness on the Edge of Town album. That counts the men fallen away to the price you pay You can run through all the nights and all the daysīut just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign So let the games start, you better run you little wild heart With that pretty little baby in your handsĭo you remember the story of the promised land Woah, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay Where the dark of night holds back the light of the dayĪnd you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong Now they'd come so far and they'd waited so long Now you can't walk away from the price you pay Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skiesĪnd in one last breath they built the roads they'd ride to their deathĭriving on through the night, unable to break awayįrom the restless pull of the price you pay You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay Out on to an open road you ride until the day You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
