BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Nebraska lyrics

rate me

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