Lyrics
Took a ride to the beach one morning
With my wife and kid and we?re laughin?
We?re walking the boardwalk biding our time
In the distance we see an image
Of an old man whose life was finished
He put down his cane and put out his hand
Don?t go to Asbury Park
Where the lost beg in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
And if you go to the park
There?s a man lost in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
At first I did ignore him
Then I thought I really knew him
I ran back and he turned to me
We caught each others eyes
His eyes deep and tired
I whent in my pocket and gave him a five
Don?t go to Asbury Park
Where the lost beg in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
And if you go to the park
There?s a man lost in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
He thanked me graciously then I asked him
Did you serve your country
He said Anzio was the last stop for me
He turned and walked away
This old warrior crippled and gray
He served for us so we could live for today
Don?t go to Asbury Park
Where the lost beg in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
And if you go to the park
There?s a man lost in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
Don?t go to Asbury Park
Where the lost beg in the dark
Asbury Park will break your heart
