Lyrics:Nebraska
| Nebraska |
| By: Bruce Springsteen |
| Year: 1982 |
I saw her standin' on her front lawn Just a-twirlin' her baton Me and her went for a ride, sir Ten innocent people died I can't say that I am sorry For the things that I have done Maybe for a little while, sir Me and her we had some fun From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska With a shotgun on my lap Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path Now the jury brought down a guilty verdict And the judge he sentenced me to death Midnight in a prison storeroom Leather straps across my chest I can't say that I am sorry For the things that I have done Maybe for a little while, sir Me and her we had some fun They declared me unfit to live Into that great void my soul'd be hurled You want to know why I did what I did Sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world |
