Live 02 Oct 2007 version
| Patti Scialfa: | They say love |
| A love has its very own light | |
| That can shine through the darkest night | |
| That we've heard of | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | And that light |
| That you may want so much | |
| Maybe you can never touch | |
| Though you may try | |
| Both: | Now at night I dream |
| I'm all alone | |
| Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone | |
| Man swing the hammer | |
| World begin to shake | |
| I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak | |
| Patti Scialfa: | Now Eve |
| She stood by Adam's side | |
| Ah, somewhere in paradise | |
| When the world was young | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | And their love |
| Oh, there love was so pure and sound | |
| But it was cursed straight into the ground | |
| That they walked on | |
| Both: | Now somewhere in every kiss |
| I still feel the blame | |
| Like a dirty link | |
| In a long dark chain | |
| Man pull the chain | |
| World begin to shake | |
| I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak | |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | With me baby |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | With me baby |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | With me baby |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | Oh, with me baby |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | With me baby |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | With me baby |
| Both: | You gotta work |
| Patti Scialfa: | With me baby, gotta work with me baby |
| Patti Scialfa: | She says "man, |
| I've given you my flesh and blood | |
| But that just wasn't good enough | |
| You wanted my soul" | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Now he says "girl, (oh na na na, na oh na na na) |
| No matter how hard I try (oh na na na, na oh na na na) | |
| You just ain't ever satisfied (oh na na na, na oh na na na) | |
| No no no" (oh na na na, na oh na na na) | |
| Both: | Now at night the same dream |
| I'm all alone | |
| Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone | |
| Man swing the hammer | |
| World begin to shake | |
| Patti Scialfa: | I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak |
| Patti Scialfa: | I'm just living in a town |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I'm just living in a town |
| Patti Scialfa: | I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak |
| Patti Scialfa: | I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak |
