This almost 10 minute song features a distinct saxophone performance from E Street Bands Clarence Clemons, a soft 23-note violin introduction of the song and the piano rendition of Roy Bittan at the opening. This song is included in the 1975 hit album of the band, Born To Run.
The song opens with a hint of desperation that slowly turns into despair then defeat.
The "Rat" and the barefoot girl are the 2 vital characters in the story of the song. The song starts with the Rat driving his machine over the Jersey line and meets with the barefoot girl. Together they spell romance and get lost from sight down the Flamingo Lane. Then the song tells of some sort of the city and the gang where the rat is involved.
The song refers occasionally to the conflict of the rat and the police. After the extended solo of Clemon's, the fall of the Rat is told. The song ends with description how the death of the Rat ends in vain and how the people around never care about him. "No one watches as the ambulance pulls away or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light. Man the poets down here write nothing at all. They just stand back and let it all be", goes the closing stanza.
If you have not heard the song before you need to check it out as soon as you can, you really will love it.
