Album version
Hey Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks, tonight can you get us a ride
Got to make it through the tunnel, got a meeting with a man on the other side
Hey Eddie, this guy he's the real thing
So if you wanna come along you gotta promise you won't say anything
'Cause this guy don't dance
And the word's been passed, this is our last chance
We gotta stay cool tonight Eddie 'cause man we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one they ain't gonna be looking for just me this time
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket, it'll look like you're carrying a friend
And remember, just don't smile
Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style
Well Cherry says she's gonna walk because she found I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie man she don't understand that two grands practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonight's gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed
She'll see this time I wasn't just talking
Then I'm gonna go out walking
Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride

SECTION NOT YET COMPLETED
The Born To Run recording sessions can be divided into two phases: the 1974 sessions and the 1975 sessions. The first phase consisted of scattered sessions conducted between May and October 1974 at 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, NY, while Springsteen and the band were still in the midst of The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle Tour. When the lengthy tour came to an end in March 1975, the recording sessions continued at The Record Plant in New York City, NY, in March 1975 and lasted till July. 914 Sound Studios was Mike Appel's studio of choice, but The Record Plant was advised by Springsteen's friend and future manager Jon Landau. All tracks on the Born To Run album, except the title track, were recorded during these Mar-Jul 1975 sessions.
Born To Run was commercially released on Columbia Records 01 Sep 1975. Note that a small quantity of blank label, advanced promo copies (known as the "Script Covers") were issued to VIPs on or around 12 Aug 1975, and normal promo copies were sent to radio stations on or around 24 Aug 1975. The album peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200. It also reached #36 on the UK Album Chart. The album re-entered the Billboard 200 in the eighties, reaching #66 in 1980 and #101 in 1985.
