FAVORITE LYRIC:

“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.” – Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
