His pronunciation of "deuce" is clearer in this live version.

I can tell you, in the 70s when this song was playing on the radio, nobody knew what the lyrics were or what they meant, but we loved the song. 😅

"Revved up like a deuce" refers to the 1932 Ford Model B, also known as the 'deuce coupe' because of the '2' in the year, a classic car that was often rebuilt as a hot rod. The 'revved up' refers to revving the engine, ready for the race.

Listen to the studio version. That's the version we've all misheard all these years.

The drummer is Chris Slade, who played with AC/DC back in the 90s. He plays on the "Razors Edge " album.<br>P.S.: "Midnight Special" is really a treasure when it comes to 70s music.

My dad says the lyrics are "Wrapped up like a douche another bummer in the night". If you like this song, be sure to check out his favorite Prince song "Raspberry Parfait". No hearing problems in this family.

The word "deuce" comes across much clearer in this performance than it does in the original record.

This song was written by a 17 year old Bruce Springsteen and a rhyming dictionary !😲<br>😎🤘 In an MTV unplugged show Bruce breaks down the lyrics and what he was trying to convey.

"Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night" is a reference to the iconic "Little Deuce Coupe" of Beach Boy fame. It refers to a hot rod based on a 1932 Ford coupe and drag racing with the same. Some of us come from a time and place where such races were happening every Friday and Saturday on local back roads. Farm roads along section lines were made for such shenanigans.

The studio version makes the 'misheard' line come through much more strongly.
