Lyrics:
I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir, me and her we had us some fun
Now the jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap
They declared me unfit to live, said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
#BruceSpringsteen #Rock #VH1

Nebraska one of the greatest albums of all time. Take your Madonna, Justin Whatever, Taylor swift, etc. nothing can compare to this level of talent. What a once in a billion artist.

Nebraska is the one of the best albums made period better than his so called superhits

@MladenPostruznik

He sings about the murders from 1958 that were committed by Charles Starkweather from Lincoln Nebraska. His girlfriend was at the time 14 years old and was with him during the murder spree. Before he was executed in an electric chair, his last wish was that she sits on his lap. This song is more dark than you think. She was a minor. She is alive and her name is Caril Ann Fugate.

The voice of the Vietnam generation. The soul of a minstrel. A unique poet and musician. A man to admire and emulate.

I am 25 years old, it makes me the happiest woman in the world, to know that my son, who is only one year old, admires you as much as I do !!! the most amazing singer of all time! the greatest band of all time! I will love you all my life.

Starkweather was a monster not to be recalled or glorified. Fugate was scared and innocent

@GeneGlass1

Well, art aside, a great disservice is done in perpetrating an injustice about a 14-year-old girl.

One of the most haunting, twisted, beautiful songs ever written.

A great storyteller at his best telling a stark and beautiful story. Mega class songwriting!

Fell asleep to this album more times than I can remember when I was a kid in the UK. Pressure of school and mum dying of cancer at the time.

Well sir, I've said it a ton of times, and I'll say it a ton more; there's Bruce Springsteen, and then there's everyone else!

Reading the fabulous book “Deliver Me From Nowhere” by Warren Zanes, all about the making of this album and what Bruce was going through at the time. Very insightful and has me appreciating Bruce even more.

A beautiful track from a great album. Never tire of listening to any of the tracks. Probably the only thing my ex-wife introduced me to apart from my son.

I don’t know why but melancholic tone of this song just fits the mood of Nebraska so well, it makes me miss home. Of course I’m ignoring the lyrics since that wasn’t my life in NE 😂
