Rocky Ground

From WRECKING BALL... by Bruce Springsteen 



Rise up shepherd, rise up
Your flock has roamed far from the hills
The stars have faded, the sky is still
The angels are shouting "Glory Hallelujah"

We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground
We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

Forty days and nights of rain have washed this land
Jesus said the money changers in this temple will not stand
Find your flock, get them to higher ground
Flood waters rising and we're Caanan bound

We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground
We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground
(I'm a soldier!)

Tend to your flock or they will stray
We'll be called for our service come Judgment Day
Before we cross that river wide
Blood on our hands will come back on us twice

(I'm a soldier!)

Rise up shepherd, rise up
Your flock has roamed far from the hills
Stars have faded, the sky is still
Sun's in the heavens and a new day's rising

You use your muscle and your mind and you pray your best
That your best is good enough, the Lord will do the rest
You raise your children and you teach 'them to walk straight and sure
You pray that hard times, hard times, come no more
You try to sleep, you toss and turn, the bottom's dropping out
Where you once had faith now there's only doubt
You pray for guidance, only silence now meets your prayers
The morning breaks, you awake but no one's there


(but the video's one of mine).

This Depression


"Baby, I've been down, but never this down
I've been lost, but never this lost
This is my confession, I need your heart 
In this depression, I need your heart 
 Baby, I've been low, but never this low
I've had my faith shaken, but never hopeless
This is my confession, I need your heart
In this depression, I need your heart
And I've always been strong, but I've never felt so weak
And all my prayers have gone for nothing
I've been without love, but never forsaken
Now the morning sun, the morning sun is breaking
This is my confession, I need your heart
In this depression, I need your heart
This is my confession, I need your heart
In this depression, I need your heart
This is my confession, I need your heart
In this depression, I need your heart" ♥

Baby, You've Got It!!

My very favorite off the new record!!



You've Got It


No one ever found it
Ain't no school ever taught it
No one ever made it
Ain't no one ever bought it
Baby you've got it
Baby you've got it
Come on and give it to me
Ain't no one can break it
There ain't no one can steal it
Ain't no one can fake it
You just know it when you feel it
Baby you've got it
Baby you've got it
Come on and give it to me
Yeah, you can't read it in a book
And you can't even dream it
Honey, it ain't got a name
You just know it when you see it
Baby you've got it
Baby you've got it
Come on and give it to me
Well, now listen up
Your reckless love is precious so don't waste it
Can't tell you what they made it of
But I know it when I taste it
Baby you've got it
Baby you've got it
You've got it in your bones and blood
You're real as real ever was
Baby you've got it
Baby you've got it
Come on and give it to me

Jack of All Trades



I'll mow your lawn 
Clean the leaves out your drain
I'll mend your roof
To keep out the rain
I'll take the work
That God provides
I'm a Jack of all trades
Honey we'll be alright

I'll hammer the nails
And I'll set the stone
I'll harvest your crops
When they're ripe and grown
I'll pull that engine apart of 
That truck till she's running right
I'm a Jack of all trades
We'll be alright

The hurricane blows
Brings a hard rain 
When the blue sky breaks
Feels like the world's gonna change
We'll start caring for each other
Like Jesus said that we might
I'm a Jack of all trades
We'll be alright

The banker man grows fat
The working man grows thin
It's all happened before
And it'll happen again
It'll happen again
Yeah they'll beg your life
I'm a Jack of all trades
Darling we'll be alright

Now sometimes tomorrow 
Comes soaked in treasure and blood
Yeah we stood the draught
Now we'll stand the flood
There's a new world coming
I can see the light
I'm a Jack of all trades
We'll be alright

So you use what you got
And you learn to make due
You take the old
You make it new
If I had me a gun 
I'd find the bastards and shoot them on sight
I'm a Jack of all trades
We'll be alright
I'm a Jack of all trades
We'll be alright 




Easy Money

From Bruce's new CD - WRECKING BALL - order your copy NOW!! 


You put on your coat I'll put on my hat
You put out the dog I'll put out the cat
You put on your red dress for me tonight, honey
We're going on the town now, looking for easy money.

There's nothing to it mister, you won't hear a sound
When your whole world comes tumbling down
All them fat cats they'll just think it's funny
I'm going on the town now, lookin' for easy money

I got a Smith & Wesson 38
I got a hill-fire burnin' and I got me a date
Got me a bit on the far shore it's bright and sunny
I'm going on the town tonight, looking for easy money

You put on your coat I'll put on my hat
You put out the dog I'll put out the cat
You put on your red dress, you're lookin' real good, honey
We're going on the town now, looking for easy money.
We're going on the town now, looking for easy money.
