  REASON TO BELIEVE - Bruce Springsteen
  
  Seen a man standing over a dead dog
  By a highway in a ditch
  He's looking down kind of puzzled
  Poking that dog with a stick
  Got his car door flung open
  He's standing out on Highway 31
  Like if he stood there long enough
  That dog get up and run
  Man, it struck me kinda funny
  Seemed kinda funny, sir, to me
  How at the end of every hard-earned day
  People find some reason to believe
  
  Well, Mary Lou loved Johnny
  With a love mean and true
  She said, Baby, I'll work for you every day
  And bring my money home to you
  One day up and left her
  And ever since that
  She waits down the end of that dirt road
  For young Johnny to come back
  Man, it struck me kinda funny
  Seemed kinda funny, sir, to me
  How at the end of every hard-earned day
  People find some reason to believe
  
  Take the baby to the river
  Kyle William they called him
  They washed the baby in the water
  To take away little Kyle's sins
  In a white-wash shotgun shack
  An old man passes away
  They take his body to the graveyard
  And over him they pray
  Lord, now won't you tell us
  Tell us what does it mean?
  Still at the end of every hard-earned day
  People find some reason to believe
  
  Congregation gathers
  Down by the riverside
  Preacher stands with a Bible
  Groom stands waiting for his bride
  Congregation gone
  The sun sets behind a weeping willow tree
  Groom stands alone and watches the river rush on
  So effortlessly
  Lord, and he's wondering
  Where can his baby be
  Still at the end of every hard-earned day
  People find some reason to believe
