Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street? Lyrics


Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street? Song Chart
  • This is based on people and places Springsteen met in his early years as a songwriter. His father was a bus driver for a time, which helped inspire the song. (thanks, Dirk - Southwest of Freehold, NJ)
  • The barrage of images in the lyrics helped earn Springsteen the tag "The New Dylan," which he would intentionally get away from by writing less introspective, harder rocking songs on his next album, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.
  • Springsteen wrote the lyrics first and filled in the music later. The only time he wrote this way was on his first album.
  • Joan Fontaine pops up in the lyrics for no apparent reason. She was an actress who starred in the Alfred Hitchcock movie Rebecca.
