About Light of Day

"Light of Day", sometimes written as "(Just Around the Corner to the) Light of Day", is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and performed initially by Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox with their fictitious band The Barbusters in the 1987 film Light of Day. The song has since become a staple in Jett's concerts. The song appeared on the Light of Day soundtrack album. As a single, it reached number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1987, and it was credited to The Barbusters (Joan Jett and The Blackhearts) on the record label. It received additional album-oriented rock airplay due to its Jett and Springsteen connection. A music video featuring The Barbusters performing the song, interspersed with numerous scenes from the rest of the film, was popular on MTV. The song has also appeared on several Jett compilation albums. In 2011 American Songwriter named "Light of Day" their Favorite Movie Song. more »

Well, I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now
And I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling all right now
I got some money in my pocket

And I won't need a ride, yeah
I got a big Jag car and a baby by my side, yeah

[Chorus]
Well, I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost down along the way
Well, I'm just around the corner till the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner till the light of day, yeah

Driving 500 miles, got 500 to go, yeah
I've got a rock'n roll music on my radio
I've got a brother on the rig just off the gulf coast
He says the girls down there are really the most, yeah

Well I'm a little tired out but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost along the way
But I'm just around the corner till the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner till the light of day, yeah

Well, I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo
Well, don't ask me what I'm doing, cause I don't know, yeah
Only hear you wasn't joking when you wrote me that letter

Things can't get worse so they gotta get better

[Chorus]

I'm just around the corner till the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner till the light of day, yeah
Oh yeah [Repeat: x4]
