Nebraska lyrics

Artist  : Bruce Springsteen 
Song : Nebraska
 
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
