Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Released in 1973 on The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle, “Rosalita” tells the story of forbidden love between a wild adolescent and an over-protected young girl.

The 7-minute song gained nation-wide prominence on college campuses for its raucous live performances like at Phoenix, AZ ‘78. Just skip to 6:57 if you wanna see what I’m talkin' about.
