Bruce Springsteen
I've found that giving 100% to your job isn't the same as giving 100% of your life to your job. Very often when I thought I was giving 100% of my life to my job, I was simply obsessing over something.
Bruce Springsteen
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Bruce Springsteen
I know your mama she don't like me, cause I play in a rock and roll band.
Bruce Springsteen
Baby, this town rips the bones from our back it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap. We got to get out while we're young.
Bruce Springsteen
She's a walkin', talkin' reason to live.
Bruce Springsteen
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past.
Bruce Springsteen
