Bruce Springsteen quotes about
I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.
I always look terrible before the show. That's when I feel worst. And after the show it's like a million bucks. Simple as that. You feel a little tired but you never feel better. Nothing makes me feel as good as those hours between when you walk offstage, until I go to bed. That's the hours that I live for.

There's a girl across the bar, I get the message she's sending. Mmm, she ain't looking too married, and me, well, I'm pretending.
Out of our way mister, you best keep.
Hey man, did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud.
Let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly, yeah, this is the long good-bye.
Go-kart Mozart was checking out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside.
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
