Bruce Springsteen - Sherry Darling Lyrics






Your mama's yappin' in the back seat
Tell her to push over and move them big feet
Every Monday morning I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency

Well, this morning I ain't fighting, tell her I give up
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
But it's the last time that she's gonna be riding with me

You can tell her there's a hot sun beating on the black top
She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight

Well, I got some beer and the highway's free
And I got you, and, baby, you've got me
Hey, hey, hey! What you say, Sherry Darlin'

Now there's girls melting on the beach
And they're so fine but so out of reach
'Cause I'm stuck in traffic down here on 53rd Street

Now, Sherry, my love for you is real
But I didn't count on this package deal
And, baby, this car just ain't big enough for her and me

So you can tell her there's a hot sun beating on the black top
She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight

Well, I got some beer and the highway's free
And I got you, and, baby, you got me
Hey, hey, hey! What you say, Sherry Darlin'

Well, let there be sunlight, let there be rain
Let the broken heart love again
Sherry, we can run with our arms open wide before the tide

To all the girls down at Sacred Heart
And all you operators back in the Park
Say hey, hey, hey! What you say, Sherry Darlin'
Hey, hey, hey! What you say, Sherry Darlin'

    when we read the Word; it's often best to simply read (as is) to allow Gods Holy Spirit to speak to us, pray even before we read; then neither shall we misinterpret what God has for us to know as understand/ comprehend; so do u agree? I read Provebs 4 twice over ,, and more; you are blessed, Ellen, you must be desiring me to take heed upon something I am still learning to grow in Christ which I am eternally grateful. Amen

  6. J.... B....

    I was just a dumbass 14 year old kid when I bought "The River" album, based on the fact that I had recently acquired "Born to Run" and loved it, and had to hear more from this guy. The 1-2-3 punch you right in the gut opening of the record, The Ties That Bind, Sherry Darling, and Jackson Cage, convinced me that Bruce is not only the greatest living rock 'n' roll performer, but he is basically rock 'n' roll personified. I'm pretty sure if you cut Bruce's finger, Chuck Berry riffs would spill out instead of blood

  7. D.... ....

    Not so easy to just dump someone on their aas w kids and married. Fcuk

    My favorite Springsteen Song.

    L.... M....

    Springsteen's song

  33. T.... C....

    bruce springsteens the best

  34. M.... E....

    one of the most underated songs !

  35. S.... T....

    is it just me...or is this the perfect rock song ever?

    S.... T....

    Not just you...

    S.... T....

    It’s just you. One of the weaker songs in the Bruce canon.

    S.... T....

    @rubicon1983 Says quite a bit if this is one of the weaker songs.

    S.... T....

    Oh yeah !

  36. M.... B....

    "Let there be sunlight. Let there be rain. Let the broken hearted love again." Bruce is forever the optimist and saint in the city for all us hungry back in the park. "Say hey hey. What da say? Sherry darling. Oh my my!" Peace. Out.

  37. I.... T....

    TOO GOOD

  38. J.... G....

    Siempre encaja ¡,,,,,

  39. J.... G....

  40. R.... ....

    For me this is his best record ever. love it. Love Clarence

  41. L.... C....

    Muito lindo Bruce esse música eu amei parabéns todas as músicas são muito lindas....

  42. R.... J....

    what a tune.

  43. s.... ....

    When , Bruce , was fun and not political

    s.... ....

    If you don't think The River is a political record, you haven't listened to it.

    s.... ....

    He's not a dreaded lefty is he?

    s.... ....

    salamattamalas he has always been political

    s.... ....

    What?

    Bruce has always been political. Even going back to "Greetings from Asbury Park". Listen to "Lost in the Flood" and tell me otherwise.

    s.... ....

    salamattamalas I here you bud

  44. B.... ....

    try listening to this song WITHOUT tapping your foot!!! love it!!!

  45. N.... S....

    Never sick to hear this song again and again and again.. I love it.

  46. x.... ....

    This song to me has a bittersweet taste. It sounds kinda nostalgic to me although the joyful background sounds.

  47. R.... L....

    So incredibly rare in rock or pop to find a song that's funny and joyous like this one, without it actually being some kind of novelty. Been one of my favourites for 35 years, brilliant little slice of America. And you just know that next Monday morning, he'll be driving mother-in-law down to the unemployment agency as usual...

  48. w.... D....

    How good is RDJ's cover tho

  49. z.... ....

    Basic training in Alabama,we'd be given free time to polish boots,clean gear,and rub elbows with our female platoon,down in the company area.I'd pop this cassette in and we would all start singing Sherry darling ,for one of ours named Sherry.Cant hear this song without thinking of breakfree,shoe polish,and the smell of mothballs.

  50. R.... B....

    I miss the Big Guy. But have you guys heard Jake, his nephew??? Come on. He's not Clarence, but he rocks.

    R.... B....

    Rob Burnett Clarence sure complimented anyone he played with. RIP CLARENCE.

  51. a.... c....

    i love you u. s. a the very best of the universe & the greatest songs.

  52. E.... T....

    Brillant !

  53. C.... S....

    why oh why can't anyone write music like this anymore everything today sucks

  54. B.... B....

    Awesome and underrated Springsteen song ... my father loves this man and the music he created.  RIP Clarence -

  55. A.... T....

    Wind blowin' in my hair on the Jersey shore summer type of jam.. my kinda jam..

  56. B.... L....

    This song sounds like the perfect song to reword and to rip our president elect Donald J Chump!

    B.... L....

    Bill Lichtenstein enjoy. Itll roll right off the Ducks back. Lololololol

  76. D.... F....

    1981..the River Tour stop in Nashville, TN...I danced with him onstage to this song ...I will treasure that memory forever. I wrote a song about it a few years back, and released it on my 3rd CD in 2009..

  77. m.... ....

  78. M.... H....

    Happy Birthday, Boss!

  80. S.... ....

    Listening to this driving across Ohio

  81. m.... ....

    Thank you for sharing this, I saw him at wembley, early 80s, wonderful. This was the first track of his I heard and it still sounds incredible.

  82. K.... S....

    I've always thought he sings:
    "There's a hot sun beating on the blacktop,
    She keeps talking she'll be walk in Alaska..."
    Until I read the lyrics.
    Actually these are better lyrics...lol

    K.... S....

    Y poop. . im 8

    K.... S....

    @KSarah Sarah I did not hear that until I read this.

    K.... S....

    +Davide INYOURFACE
    I know that, silly...

    K.... S....

    near enough for me

    K.... S....

    that is one BIG fucking block.

  83. e.... s....

    Hey tim a, Bruce just called and told me to give you the finger, you moron! He confirmed that this was his BEST and GREATEST though underrated song, BAR NONE! Guess you have to go fuck yourself now, you prat!

  84. k.... ....

    No thanks I prefer a G&T dear ... but never mind.  BRILLIANT SONG!!!!!!!!

  85. T.... L....

    BELLISSIMA. SEMPRE IL PIU'GRANDE. AUGURI AL BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    T.... L....

    Tiziana Lelii Un genio!

  86. e.... s....

    The GREATEST and BEST song of Bruce Springsteen And The E-Street Band and frankly, the ONLY ONE worth listening to repeatedly. All you "Born To Run" and "Born In The USA" album die-hards can bitch all you want, but that is the PLAIN and INARGUABLE TRUTH. I just wonder though where they recorded this live.

    e.... s....

    @Tiziana Lelii, when someone says it's the "INARGUABLE TRUTH", it is said as fact, and opinion cannot be fact. And when it is in capital letters, it implies yelling, which makes the statement even more ridiculous. Had he said that he thinks it is the best Bruce song ever, then THAT would be opinion. 

    e.... s....

    @edwin santos Nice that you expose the world to what a master idiot you are. Do yourself a favor and look up the definition of "inarguable truth" and then you'll realize just how stupid you are. 

    e.... s....

    @stephen dwyer What in the world is a "fudgepacker"? Someone who packs fudge cakes? You are one hopeless addict, boy. Try getting some medical attention before its too late. You are an embarrassment to everyone. Oh, and stay off the internet until you're cured of your addiction.

    e.... s....

    @stephen dwyer No No No.................Niente pistole.Lasciamoli alla loro malata cultura!

    e.... s....

    +edwin santos 
    I respect your opinion, and I think this a great song, but you can't argue that it's better than 'Born To Run'. Backstreets, Thunder Road, Jungleland, etc., they all have more meaningful and powerful lyrics than this. In my opinion, The 'Born In The U.S.A.' album is very similar (to an extent) to this song. I.e. if you like this, you most likely like 'Born In The U.S.A.' And you can't really say that a single song is better than two entire albums. I actually think that there are many Springsteen songs worth listening to on repeat, but I for one don't think this is one. I also find it pretty rude and ingnorant of you to say that this is the "GREATEST and BEST song of Bruce Springsteen", "the ONLY ONE worth listening to repeatedly", and "All you "Born To Run" and "Born In The USA" album die-hards can bitch all you want, but that is the PLAIN and INARGUABLE TRUTH". You have no evidence to back this up other than it's your opinion.

  87. d.... ....

    Tell her she wins, if she'll just shut up...but it's the last time she'll be ridin' with me!

  88. J.... ....

    Makes me smile every time. Top 10 for me classic!

  89. L.... ....

    This is one of the only songs i can listen to over and over and not get sick of it.

  90. o.... ....

    What a classic!! Love BRUCE!!

  91. S.... -....

    What a great way to kickstart a classic album.

    Driving across Perthshire listening to The River this evening, I was thinking: If Bruuuce had put out disc 1 of The River on its own, that would have been one classic, and then he could have waited a year and put out disc 2, and got another classic. But that's Bruce; generous to the point of self-denial :-)

    S.... -....

    Oh whoops, that comment was meant to be on Ties That Bind. As trainspotters will already have noticed, Sherry Darling is in fact Side 1, Track 2. 

    Whatevs :-)

  92. A.... ....

    @CanRockerguit Everyone's entitled to their own opinions... but when you look at the realities here, he put on more of a show than you. He had soul. If you can show him up, go for it. Nobody's going to stop you

  93. E.... J....

    I'm here because of Larry Paul singing this song on Ally McBeal. Robert Downey Jr. sings it better!

    E.... J....

    Me too! :D

    E.... J....

    No they don't
    Not by a long shot

    E.... J....

    He ain't no Springsteen

  94. t.... ....

    My favorite Bruce album,and maybe my favorite album ever.I bought it when it came out and still love it.To me,this album was his zenith.Blow that sax,big man!!!

  95. p.... w....

    Ha ha true he aint no picker.

  96. c.... ....

    My dad told me to listen to this-gotta love a classic!
