  • I've been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean
    We'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline
    To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue
    Baby just one kiss will get these things for you
    A kiss to seal our fate tonight

    A kiss to prove it all night
    Prove it all night
    Girl there's nothing else that we can do
    So prove it all night
    Prove it all night
    And girl I'll prove it all night for you

    Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist
    There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this
    But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice
    But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight
    Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price

    Prove it all night
    Prove it all night
    Prove it all night girl and call the bluff
    We'll prove it all night
    Prove it all night
    Girl I'll prove it all night for your love

    Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow
    Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo
    You hear their voices telling you not to go
    They've made their choices and they'll never know
    What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie
    What it's like to live and die

    Prove it all night
    Prove it all night
    Girl there's nothing else that we can do
    So prove it all night
    Prove it all night
    And girl I'll prove it all night for you

    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night
    I'll prove it all night Writer/s: Bruce Springsteen

  • John from Los AngelesSimply one of the best songs about fighting to keep your dreams alive. "what it means to steal, to cheat, to lie...."
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 23rd 1978, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off their 117 show 'Darkness Tour' at Shea's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, New York...
    Twelve days later on June 4th, 1978 "Prove It All Night" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart as position #80; six weeks later on July 16th, 1978 it would peak at #33 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 9 weeks...
    Was track four of side two on his fourth studio album, "Darkness On the Edge of Town", and the seventh song of his 22 song set at the Shea's Performing Arts Center.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, Ny*** 'But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice' ***
    On June 2nd 1978, Columbia Records released Bruce's fourth studio album 'Darkness On The Edge of Town'...
    It peaked at #5 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart...
    Two tracks were released as singles; "Prove It All Night" (it peaked at #33 on July 16th, 1978) and "Badlands" (reached #42 on September 17th, 1978)...
    (Never sign a contract on the hood of a car)!!!
  • Larry from Detroit, MiMy all time favorite song from "The Boss"...
  • Mark from Worcester, MiThat's okay Scott in St Louis. It works. Nothing wrong with a clean ass. In fact that might be a better place to start.
  • Ruth from North Attleboro, MaThis is thee cassette they had just switched from 8 tracks in '78. I was 15 and this CD blew me away as did Bruce that Nov. in Providence, RI!
    However I just took this song as a gf/bf/song, it never made sense that way. But I have so many spins on his music. Darkness was really hot. Deep and sensual.

  • Scott from St. Louis, MoI always thought the opening line was "I've been working real hard trying to get my ass clean."
