BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - In Freehold lyrics

rate me

I was born right here on Randolph St. in Freehold

Here, right behind that big red maple in Freehold

Well, I went to school right here, got laid, and had my first beer in Freehold

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

I remember running up the street past the convent and church here in Freehold

Chased my daddy down in these bars, first fell in love with this guitar

here in Freehold

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

Maria Espinosis tell me where are you tonight?

You were 13 but way ahead of your time, I walked home with a limp but I felt

fine that night in Freehold

Well, the girls at Freehold Regional they looked pretty fine

had my heart broke at least a half dozen times

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

if they'd dump me if they knew I'd strike it rich

straight out of Freehold

Well, Tex rest in peace, and Marion gave us kids a hand in Freehold

George and I started up a little rock and roll band in Freehold

Well, we learned pretty quick how to rock, I'll never forget the feeling

of that first 5 bucks in my pocket that I earned in Freehold

I got outta here really hard and fast in Freehold

Everyone wanted to kick my ass back there in Freehold

Well, if you were different, black or brown

it was a bit of a red neck town back then in Freehold

Well, something broke my daddy's back in Freehold

In '69 he left and he never come back to Freehold

Said, once he drove from California, 3000 miles in 3 days

called my relatives some dirty names and drove straight out of Freehold

My sister had her first little baby at 17 in Freehold

Well, people they can be pretty mean

Honey, you had a rough road to go, but 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 used to have a lot more hair in Freehold

Well, I left and swore I'd never walk these streets again, Jack

Tonight all I can say is, holy shit I'm back, back in Freehold

Well, this summer everything was green in Freehold

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

I showed 'em where daddy was born and raised, and first felt the sun on his

face

there in Freehold

I still got a lot of good friends right here in town

I can usually find me a free beer somewhere, with offers of free meals I am

blessed...

Should I go crazy, blow all my money and ruin my life,

well at least I'll never go hungry, I guess, here in Freehold

Well, I got a good Catholic education here in Freehold

Led to an awful lot of masturbation here in Freehold

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' nobody down

Hell, in the end it all just goes and comes around

It's one hell of a town

Freehold....
