The studio sessions to some extent extended into August 1980 due to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's involvement in the recording of Gary U.S. The combined sessions from March 1979 to June 1980 produced the double album The River that was eventually released in October 1980. Again, for the next few months, Springsteen altered between composing and practicing solo demos at his home in Holmdel, NJ (between September 1979 and February 1980), rehearsing with the band at his Telegraph Hill Road property in Holmdel, NJ (between September 1979 and February 1980), and recording in studio at The Power Station in New York City, NY (from October 1979 to June 1980). In late September 1979, The Ties That Bind single album was scrapped as Springsteen's writing process continued.Ī second phase of recording sessions was scheduled. The cover shot was to be a picture of Bruce Springsteen in front of a barn, with the back cover being a shot of his face behind a screen door. Mock covers with "The Ties That Bind" title were roughed out early in the planning. I swear I never meant to take those things away Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not sayīut won't you just say goodbye, it's Independence Day Nothing we can say can change anything nowīecause there's just different people coming down here now and they see things in different waysĪnd soon everything we've known will just be swept away There's a lot of people leaving town now, leaving their friends, their homesĪt night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's jointĪnd the highway she's deserted, clear down to Breaker's Point It's Independence Day, all boys must run awayĪll men must make their way come Independence Day I guess that we were just too much of the same kind There was just no way this house could hold the two of us We chose the words and, yeah, we drew the lines
Now I don't know what it always was with us They ain't gonna do to me what I watched them do to you There's a darkness in this town that's got us tooīut they can't touch me now and you can't touch me now 'Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now Well Papa go to bed now, it's getting late
