It's weird to me that this is the case, but Schrader and Springsteen are friends, I don't know from how far back, but they maybe could have worked something out. But yeah it was Dylan songs.
Honestly can't quite imagine that film with Dylan songs though, I think it required music which had a certain moodiness. Like how Neil Jordan deployed Leonard Cohen's a thousand kisses deep a couple times in The Good Thief.
