Patty Griffin
Nebraska
Written by 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 .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 head back You make sure my pretty baby
is sittin' right there on my lap Letras de canciones
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.
