"Well this morning I ain't fighting tell her I give up
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
But it's the last time that she's gonna be ridin' with me."
--"Sherry Darling", The River
Springsteen's sense of humor has been a topic of minor debate among the Legends of Springsteen editors. On one hand, nearly every song of Springsteen's is full of lost souls who run away from dark places only to find more misery. On the other hand, in concert, he'll take these songs and make them into joyous crowd sing-a-longs (see "Hungry Heart"). However, Bruce's more humorous side shines through in "Sherry Darling". His silliest song to-date ironically appears on his third (or fourth) darkest album (I'd rank Nebraska and Darkness ahead of it; Wrecking Ball come close). These lyrics highlight the exasperation we've all felt when arguing over nonsense - it always gets to a point where silence trumps any feeling of victory you'd get in winning an argument.
