Darlington County Lyrics


Darlington County Song Chart
  • This was first recorded in May 1982, but was not released until Born In The U.S.A. was finished in 1984. Springsteen had written about 70 songs for the album, and this was one of the few that made it.
  • This is one of Springsteen's story songs, complete with interesting working-class characters and a road trip. It tells the story of two guys who head out of New York City looking for work in Darlington County, South Carolina. They don't find work but they do find trouble, as one of them ends up getting arrested.
  • Springsteen originally wrote this for his 1978 album Darkness On The Edge Of Town, but it didn't make the cut.
