Bruce Springsteen
Born down in a dead man's town, The first kick I took was when I hit the ground, You end up like a dog that's been beat too much, Till you spend half your life just covering up...
Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen
At night I wake up with my sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head.
Bruce Springsteen
You can't start a fire without a spark
