Bruce Springsteen - Freehold songtekst

Je score:

I was born right here on Randolph Street in Freehold 

Here right behind that big red maple in Freehold 

I went to school right here 

Got laid and had my first beer 

Here in Freehold 



Well, my folks all lived and worked right here in Freehold 

I remember running up the street past the convent to the church in Freehold 

Chased my daddy down in these bars 

First fell in love with this guitar 

Here in Freehold 



I had my first kiss at the YMCA canteen on a Friday night 

Maria Espinoza baby where are you tonight 

You were thirteen but way ahead of your time 

I walked home with a limp but I felt just fine 

That night in Freehold 



Well now the girls at Freehold Regional yeah they all looked pretty fine 

I had my heart broken at least half a dozen times 

I wonder if they miss me if they still get the itch 

Would they have dumped me if they knew I'd strike a rich 

Straight out of Freehold 



Well, a lot of good folks gave us kids a hand in Freehold 

When we started up our rock and roll band in Freehold 

Yeah we learned pretty quick how to rock 

I'll never forget the feeling of that first five bucks in my pocket 

That I earned in Freehold 



Well, I got outta here hard and fast in Freehold 

Everybody wanted to kick my ass back then in Freehold 

Well if you were different or black or brown 

It was a pretty redneck town 

Back in Freehold 



Well, now something broke my daddy's back in Freehold 

He left for thirty years he'd never come back 

'cept once he drove from California in just three days 

Called my relatives some dirty names 

And pulled straight out of Freehold

Now he's there by the highway buried in the dirt 

His ghost flippin' the bird to everybody in Freehold



Well my sister got pregnant at seventeen in Freehold 

Back then people they could be pretty mean 

Ah honey you had a rough road to go now you ain't made of nothin' but soul 

I love you more than you'll ever know 

We both survived Freehold

 

Well my buddy Mike he's the mayor now in Freehold 

I remember when we had a lot more hair in Freehold 

I left and swore I'd never walk those streets again Jack 

Now all I can say is Holy shit I'm back 

Back in Freehold 



Well I read something in the papers a few weeks ago that was pretty funny

The town council is debating whether to put up a statue of me in my home town

But it cost too much money

Well I'd like to thank the town council my friends

For saving me from humiliation and displaying the good hard common sense 

We learned in Freehold



Well, this summer everything was green

Rode my kids on the fire engine through the streets of Freehold 

I bored 'em with where dad was born and raised 

And first felt the sun on his face 

In Freehold 



Well I still got a lot of real good friends back there 

And I can usually find a free beer somewhere 

With free dinners I am blessed 

Should I go crazy, blow all my money, hit the tabloids 

Become fodder for moronic talk shows and turn my life into a complete fuckin' mess 

Well, at least I'll never go hungry I guess 

In Freehold 



I got a good Catholic education in Freehold 

Led to an awful lot of masturbation in Freehold 

Well Father it was just something I did for a smile 

Hell I still get a good one off once in a while 

And dedicate it to Freehold 

Don't get me wrong, I ain't puttin' anybody down 

In the end it all just goes and comes around 

In my hometown back in Freehold
