Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen

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 40 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 head 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
