Bruce Springsteen
LIVE IN DUBLIN
WITH THE SESSIONS BAND

  Atlantic City
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do

Now there's trouble bustin' in from outta state and the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commissions hangin' on by the skin of its teeth

CHORUS
Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

CHORUS

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's cause the night's getting cold and maybe everything dies
That's a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your hair up nice and set up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

  Old Dan Tucker
Old Dan Tucker, he's a fine old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel

Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Now old Dan Tucker, he'd come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
A hound dog barked, billy goat jumped
And landed Dan Tucker on a stump

Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell
On the fire and kicked up holy hell
A red-hot coal got in his shoe
An oh my Lord the ashes flew

Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Now Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swinging them ladies all round
First to the right and the to the left
Then to the gal that he loved best

Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

  Jesse James
Jesse James was a lad 
That killed many a man
He robbed the Glendale train
He stole from the rich 
And he gave to the poor
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

Well it was Robert Ford
That dirty little coward
I wonder now how he feels
For he ate of Jesse's bread 
And he slept in Jesse's bed
Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave

Poor Jesse had a wife 
To mourn for his life
Three children
Now they were brave
But that dirty little coward 
That shot Mr. Howard
He laid poor Jesse in his grave

Now Jesse was a man
And a friend to the poor
He'd never rob a mother or a child
There never was a man with
the law in his hand
That could take Jesse James when alive

It was on a Saturday night
And the moon was shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And people they'd say o'er many miles away
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James

Well Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
Three children
Now they were brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
He laid poor Jesse in his grave

Now the people held their breath
When they heard of Jesse's death
They wondered how
He'd ever come to fall
Robert Ford it was a fact
He shot Jesse in the back
While Jesse hung a picture on the wall

Jesse went to rest with 
his hand on his breast
The devil will be upon his knee
He was born one day in the county of Clay
And he came from a solitary race

Well Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
Three children
Now they were brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
He laid poor Jesse in his grave

  Further On Up The Road
Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed
Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet's cold
Where the miles are marked in the blood and gold
I'll meet you further on up the road

Got on my dead man's suit, and my smilin' skull ring
My lucky graveyard boots, and song to sing
I got a song to sing, to keep me out of the cold
And I'll meet you further on up the road

Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road

Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time
Searching through the dust, lookin' for a sign
If there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't know
But I got this fever, burnin' in my soul
So let's take the good times as they go
And I'll meet you further on up the road

Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road

One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road
One sunny morning we'll rise I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road

  Erie Canal 
I got a mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker
And a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
We know every inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, yeah we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

He better look around for a job, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
You bet your life I wouldn't part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Git up mule, here come a lock
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock
One more trip and then we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Where would I be if I lost my pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
I'd like to see a mule good as my Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

A friend of mine once got her sore
Now he's got a broken jaw
'Cause she let fly with her iron toe
And kicked him back to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge 'cause we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town
You'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge, we're coming to a town

  If I Should Fall Behind
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

  My Oklahoma Home
When they opened up the strip 
I was young and full of zip
I wanted someplace to call my home
And so I made the race
And I staked me out a place
And settled down along the Cimarron
It blowed away
It blowed away

My Oklahoma home, it blown away
Well it looked so green and fair 
When I built my shanty there
My Oklahoma home, it blown away

Well I planted wheats and oats
Got some chickens and some shoats
Aimed to have some ham
And eggs to feed my face
Got a mule to pull the plow
I got an old red muley cow
And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place

Well it blowed away
It blowed away
All the crops that I planted blown away
Well you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain
Everything except my mortgage blown away

Well it looked so green and fair
When I built my shanty there
I figured I was all set for life
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
Then I went to town to pick me out a wife
She blowed away
She blowed away

My Oklahoma woman blow away
Mister as I bent to kiss her
She was picked up by a twister
My Oklahoma woman blown away

Well then I was left alone just listening to the moan
Of the wind around the corners of my shack
So I took off down the road, yeah, when the south wind blowed
I traveled with the wind upon my back
I blowed away
I blowed away

Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead
Well once it looked so green and fair and now it's up in the air
My Oklahoma farm is over head

And now I'm always close to home
Ain't no matter where I roam
For Oklahoma dust is everywhere
Makes no difference where I'm walking, I can hear my chickens squawking
I can hear my wife talking in the air
It blowed away
It blowed away

Yeah my Oklahoma home is blown away
But my home Sir's always near
It's up here in the atmosphere
My Oklahoma home that blown away

Now I'm a roaming Oklahoman
But I'm always close to home
And I'll never get homesick until I die
'Cause no matter where I'm found
My home is all around
My Oklahoma home is in the sky
It blowed away
It blowed away

And my farm went down on Cimarron
But now all around the world
Wherever dust is whirled
There's some from my Oklahoma home

Oh and it's blown away
It blown away

Oh my Oklahoma home is blown away
Yeah it's up there in the sky
In that dust cloud pver n' by
My Oklahoma home is blown away

  Highway Patrolman
My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8
I always done an honest job as honest as I could
I got a brother named Franky and Franky ain't no good

Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
I get a call over the radio Franky's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way

Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"

I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good

Well Franky went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed
Franky came home in '68, and me, I took this job

Yea we're laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine

Well the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head there was a girl cryin' at a table and it was Frank, they said
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
Well I must of done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that night

It was out at the crossroads, down round Willow bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank
Well I chased him through them county roads till a sign said Canadian border five miles from here
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear

Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good

  Mrs. McGrath
"O Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,
"Would you like a soldier out of your son Ted?
With a scarlet cloak and a big cocked hat
Mrs. McGrath wouldn't you like that?"

With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

Now Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore
And seven years or more
She spotted a ship come into the bay
With her son from far away

"Captain dear, where have you been?
You been sailing the Mediterranean
Have you news of my son Ted
Is he living or is he dead?"

With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

Now came Ted without any legs
And in their place two wooden pegs
She kissed him a dozen times or two
And said, "my God, Ted, is it you?"
"Now were you drunk or were you blind
When you left your two fine legs behind?
Or was it walking upon the sea
That wore your two fine legs away?"

With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

"Now I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
A cannon ball on the fifth of May
Tore my two fine legs away"

"Now Teddy boy," the widow cried
"Your two fine legs were your mother's pride
Stumps of a tree won't do at all
Why didn't you run from that cannon ball?"

With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

"All foreign wars, I do proclaim
Let on the blood and a mother's pain
I'd rather my son as he used to be
Than the king of America in his whole name

With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With your too-ri-aa, fol-did-dle-di-aa
too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa, too-ri-aa, fo-
did-dle-di-aa, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep
Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O, Mary don't you weep
O, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
O, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded

  How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live
Well, the doctor comes 'round here with his face all bright 
And he says "in a little while you'll be alright" 
All he gives is a humbug pill, a dose of dope and a great big bill 
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
He says "me and my old school pals had some might high times down here 
And what happened to you poor black folks, well it just ain't fair" 
He took a look around gave a little pep talk, said "I'm with you" then he took a little walk 
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live? 
There's bodies floatin' on Canal and the levees gone to Hell 
Martha, get me my sixteen gauge and some dry shells 
Them who's got got out of town 
And them who ain't got left to drown 
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live? 
I got family scattered from Texas all the way to Baltimore 
And I ain't got no home in this world no more 
Gonna be a judgment that's a fact, a righteous train rollin' down this track 
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?

  Jacob's Ladder

  Long Time Comin'
Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars
The wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
Straight into my arms
Straight into my arms

I'm riding hard carryin' a catch of roses
And a fresh map that I made
Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on its grave
And dance on its grave

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here

Well my daddy he was just a stranger
Lived in a hotel downtown
When I was a kid he was just somebody
Somebody I'd see around
Somebody I'd see around

Now down below and pullin' on my shirt
I got some kids of my own
Well if I had one wish in this god forsaken world, kids
It'd be that your mistakes would be your own
Yea your sins would be your own

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here

Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires
And you breathin' in your sleep
You breathin' in your sleep

Well, there's just a spark of campfire left burning
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
I reach 'neath your shirt, lay my hands across your belly
And feel another one kickin' inside
I ain't gonna fuck it up this time

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here

  Open All Night
Well, I had the carburetor, baby, cleaned and checked
With her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet
Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks
For a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
Took her down to the carwash, check the plugs and points
Well, I'm goin' out tonight, I'm gonna rock that joint

Early north Jersey industrial skyline
I'm a all-set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a pay phone
This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone
Gotta hit the gas, baby. I'm running late
This New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape

Now, the boss don't dig me, so he put me on the night shift
It's an all-night run to get back to where my baby lives
In the wee, wee hours your mind gets hazy
Radio relays towers, won't you lead me to my baby?
Underneath the overpass, trooper hits his party light switch
Good night, good luck. One, two power shift

I met Wanda when she was employed
Behind the counter at Route 60 Bob's Big Boy Fried Chicken
On the front seat, she's sittin' in my lap
We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco road map
I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill
With them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still

Well, at 5 a.m., oil pressure's sinkin' fast
I make a pit stop, wipe the windshield, check the gas
Gotta call my baby on the telephone
Let her know that her daddy's comin' on home
Sit tight, little mama, I'm comin' 'round
I got three more hours, but I'm coverin' ground

Your eyes get itchy in the wee, wee hours
Sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations
Lost souls callin' long distance salvation
Hey, mister deejay, wontcha hear my last prayer?
Hey, ho, rock 'n roll, deliver me from nowhere

  Pay Me My Money Down
I thought I heard the captain say
Pay me my money down
Tomorrow is our sailing day
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me, Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Soon as that boat cleared bar
Pay me money down
They knocked me down with a spar
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me, Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Well if I'd been a rich man's son
Pay me my money down
I'd sit on the river and watch 'er run
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me, Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Well I wish I was Mr. Gates
Pay me my money down
I'd howl my money in in crates
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me, Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Well 40 days and nights at sea
Pay me my money down
Captain worked every last dollar out of me
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me, Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

  Growin' Up
Well I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade
And I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up.

Ooh... growin' up

The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing,
And I pushed B-52 and bombed 'em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing,
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Come down" I threw up

Ooh... growin' up

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath.
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "Pull down" I pulled up

Ooh... growin' up
Ooh... growin' up

  When the Saints Go Marching In
We are all trav'ling in the footsteps
Of those that've gone before
We'll all be reunited
On that new and sunlit shore

When the saints marching in
When the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want be in that number
When the saints go marching in

And when the sun refuses to shine
When the sun refuses to shine
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
Oh when the saints go marching in

And when the trumpet sounds its call
When the trumpet sounds its call
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call

When the saints marching in
When the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

And some say that this world of trouble
Is the only one we'll ever see
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed

Oh when the moon turns red with blood
Oh when the moon turns red with blood
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the moon turns red with blood

When the saints (oh when the saints) go marching in (go marching in)
When the saints go marching in (go marching in)
Lord, how I want (Lord, how I want) to be in that number (be in that number)
When the saints go marching in

Oh when the saints (oh when the saints) go marching in (go marching in)
When the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Lord, how I want (Lord, how I want) be in that number (to be in that number)
When the saints (when the saints) go marching in (go marching in)

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

  This Little Light of Mine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day
Gonna let my little light shine

On Monday, He gave me the gift of love
On Tuesday, peace came from above
On Wednesday told me to have more faith
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say
On Sunday, gave power divine
Just to let my little light shine (oh)

This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day
Gonna let my little light shine

Now some say you got to run and hide
But we say there's no place to hide
And some say let others decide
But we say let the people decide
Some say the time's not right
But we say the time's just right
If there's a dark corner in our land
You got to let your little light shine (oh)

This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day
Gonna let my little light shine

  American Land
What is this land of America so many travel there 
I’m going there while I’m still young 
My darlin’ meet me there 
Wish me luck my lovely 
I’ll send freedom when I can 
And we’ll make our home in the American land 

Over there the women wear silk and satin to their knees 
And children near the sweets I hear are growin’ out in the trees 
Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands 
And you make your home in the American land 

There’s diamonds in the sidewalks 
There’s gutters lined in song 
Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long 
There’s treasure for the takin’ for any hard working man 
Who make his home in the American land 

I adopted Ellis Island in the city lights spire 
I wandered to the valley of red hot steel and fire 
We made the steel that built the streets 
With the sweat of our two hands 
I gave my home to the American land 

There’s diamonds in the sidewalks 
There’s gutters lined in song 
Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long 
There’s treasure for the takin’ for any hard working man 
Who make his home in the American land 

The blacks, the Irish, the Italians, the Germans and the Jews 
The Asians, the Arabs miles from home 
come across the water with the fire down below 

They died building the railroads 
Worked them bones and skin 
They died in the fields and factories 
They’ve scattered in the wind 
They died to get here a hundred years ago 
They tell em now the hands that built the country roads trying to keep it down 

There’s diamonds in the sidewalks 
There’s gutters lined in song 
Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long 
There’s treasure for the takin’ for any hard working man 
Who make his home in the American land 

Who make his home in the American land 
Who make his home in the American land

  Blinded by the Lights
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands,
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least."
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but he never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break,
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride.
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card, he said, Do what you like, but don't do it here.
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boy, you're on your own.

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon.

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh but mama that's where the fun is

  Love Of The Common People
Livin' on free food, tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm

Tears from little sister cryin'
'Cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh, but you know she'll get by

She is livin' in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can

It's a good thing you don't have the bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
A walking to town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And it chills to the bone, boy
You'd better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can

Livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take 'em in stride family pride

You know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong where you belong

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can ...
