Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
Dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and snow | |
Little boy and his ma shivering outside a rundown music store window | |
That night on top of a Christmas tree shines one beautiful star | |
And lying underneath a brand-new Japanese guitar | |
I remember in the morning, ma, hearing your alarm clock ring | |
I'd lie in bed and listen to you gettin' ready for work | |
The sound of your makeup case on the sink | |
And the ladies at the office, all lipstick, perfume and rustlin' skirts | |
And how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work | |
If pa's eyes were windows into a world so deadly and true | |
You couldn't stop me from looking but you kept me from crawlin' through | |
And if it's a funny old world, mama, where a little boy's wishes come true | |
Well I got a few in my pocket and a special one just for you | |
It ain't no phone call on Sunday, flowers or a mother's day card | |
It ain't no house on a hill with a garden and a nice little yard | |
I got my hot rod down on Bond Street, I'm older but you'll know me in a glance | |
We'll find us a little rock 'n roll bar and baby we'll go out and dance | |
Well it was me in my Beatle boots, you in pink curlers and matador pants | |
Pullin' me up of the couch to do the twist for my uncles and aunts | |
Well I found a girl of my own now, ma, I popped the question on your birthday | |
She stood waiting on the front porch while you were telling me to get out there | |
And say what it was that I had to say | |
Last night we all sat around laughing at the things that guitar brought us | |
And I layed awake thinking 'bout the other things it's brought us | |
Well tonight I'm takin's requests here in the kitchen | |
This one's for you, ma, let me come right out and say it | |
It's overdue, but baby, if you're looking for a sad song, well I ain't gonna play it |
