Seeds Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Seeds

Well a great black river a man had found
So he put all his money in a hole in the ground
And sent a big steel arm drivin down down down
Man now I live on the streets of Houston town

Packed up my wife and kids when winter came along
And we headed down south with just spit and a song
But they said "Sorry son its gone gone gone"

Well theres men hunkered down by the railroad tracks
The Elkhorn Special blowin my hair back
Tents pitched on the highway in the dirty moonlight
And I dont know where Im gonna sleep tonight

Parked in the lumberyard freezin our asses off
My kids in the back seat got a graveyard cough
Well Im sleepin up in front with my wife
Billy club tappin on the windshield in the middle of the night
Says "Move along man move along"

Well big limousine long shiny and black
You dont look ahead you dont look back
How many times can you get up after youve been hit ?
Well I swear if I could spare the spit
Id lay one on your shiny chrome
And send you on your way back home
So if youre gonna leave your town where the north wind blow
To go on down where that sweet soda river flow
Well you better think twice on it Jack
Youre better off buyin a shotgun dead off the rack
You aint gonna find nothin down here friend
Except seeds blowin up the highway in the south wind
Movin on movin on its gone gone all gone
