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
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
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska (04:15)
This album is an American classic. A highpoint in music. This song is a fine example of why. As most
everyone knows, this song is about the Starkweather and Fugate killing spree.

I don't think Bruce Springsteen sings to sing beautifully or musically. I think Springsteen sings to tell a story and get a message across the way Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger did.

Yeah, what's so good about him that almost a million people have watched this vid alone... hmmm maybe it's the fact that he's one of the best singer/songwriters of all time and has an original voice/style, but other than that i have no clue...

Bruce is a LEGEND on guitar, I will send you a link that showcases his playing. And as for hits, check out Dancing In The Dark, Born In The USA, Glory Days, . .. it depends on your age whether you'd recognize others. I will send you a link in a message :) What's really so amazing is his concert personality, his concerts are hands down the most adrenaline filled, rocking, fun events ever!
