reason to believe (electric nebraska) - bruce springsteen lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
here we go

[verse 1]
seen a man standin’ over a dead dog
by the highway in a ditch
he’s looking down, kinda puzzled
pokin’ that dog with a stick
got his car door flung open
he’s standin’ out on highway 31
like if he stood there long enough
that dog’d get up and run

[chorus]
struck me kinda funny
kinda funny, yes indeed
how at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to believe

[verse 2]
mary lou loved johnny
with a love mean and true
she said, “baby, i’ll work for you every day
bring my money home to you”
one day, he up and lеft her
and ever sincе that
she waits down the end of that dirt road
for young johnny to come back
[chorus]
now it seems kinda funny
seemed kinda funny to me
how at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to be—

[verse 3]
take a baby to the river
kyle william, they call him
wash the baby in the water
take away little kyle’s sins
in a whitewashed shotgun shack
an old man passes away
they take the body to the graveyard
and over him they pray

[chorus]
lord, won’t you tell us
tell us, what does it mean?
still at the end of every hard*earned day
people find some reason to be—

[verse 4]
congregation gathers
down by the riverside
a priest waitin’ with his bible
groom stands waitin’ for his bride
congregation gone as the sun sets
behind a weeping willow tree
the groom stands alone on the banks
and watches the river rush on
so effortlessly
[chorus]
wonderin’
where can his baby be?
still at the end of every hard*earned day
you can find some reason to believe
