Line 1:

'''4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)''' is the second song on [[The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle]] by [[Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band]], and often cited as the best song on the [[album]]. It is a powerful love ballad, dedicated to Sandy and describing the depressing atmosphere that threatens to suffocate the love between the singer and Sandy. Locals include the "stoned-out faces," "[[switchblade]] lovers" and "the [[greaser]]s" who "tramp the streets or get busted for sleeping out on the [[boardwalk]] till dawn." The singer is tired of "hangin' in them [[dust]]y [[arcade]]s" and "chasin' the [[factory]] girls."

=== First Line ===
