The River (Live At St. Rose Of Lima School, Freehold, Nj - 11/8/1996)
Bruce Springsteen
5:41My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone My ma's in the back seat, sitting all alone As my pa steers her slow out of the lot For a test drive down Michigan Avenue My ma, she fingers her wedding band Watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands He's telling us all about the break he'd give us if he could, but he just can't Well, if I could, I swear, I know just what I'd do Now mister the day the lottery I win I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again Now the neighbors come from near and far As we pull up in our brand new used car I wish my Dad had just hit the gas and let out a cry And tell 'em all they can just kiss our asses goodbye My pa sweats the same job from morning to morn' Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born Up the block, I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowing that horn The sounds echoing all down Michigan Avenue Now mister the day my number comes in We ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
