Seger seems comfortable going to much darker place of existential despair.

Lost in the Flood. Jungleland. The River. Racing in the Streets (very dark song).
Now some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
