Springsteen Lyrics

[00:09.21] To this day, when I hear that song
[00:11.58] I see you standin' there on that lawn
[00:13.95] Discount shades, store bought tan
[00:16.51] Flip flops and cut off jeans
[00:18.53] Somewhere between that settin' sun
[00:20.91] I'm on fire and born to run
[00:23.07] You looked at me and I was done
[00:25.39] We were just gettin' started
[00:27.59] I was singin' to you, you were singin' to me
[00:29.89] I was so alive, never been more free
[00:32.22] Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang
[00:34.83] "Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh"
[00:37.28] Stayed there 'til they forced us out
[00:39.05] And took the long way to your house
[00:41.44] I can still hear the sound
[00:43.50] Of you sayin' don't go
[00:46.49] When I think about you
[00:48.82] I think about 17
[00:51.18] I think about my old Jeep
[00:53.25] I think about the stars in the sky
[00:55.82] Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
[01:00.31] Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
[01:09.02] Springsteen
[01:11.14]
[01:18.29] I bumped into you by happenstance
[01:20.88] You probably wouldn't even know who I am
[01:22.85] But if I whispered your name, I bet
[01:25.44] Still be a spark
[01:27.51] And back when I was gasoline
[01:29.95] And this old tattoo had brand new ink
[01:32.20] And we didn't care what would mama think
[01:34.68] 'Bout your name on my arms
[01:36.86] Baby, is it spring or is it summer?
[01:39.18] The guitar sound, roll the beat of a drummer
[01:41.84] You hear sometimes late at night
[01:44.18] On your radio
[01:46.02] Even though you're a million miles away
[01:48.45] When you hear "Born in the USA"
[01:50.76] You relive those glory days
[01:53.11] So long ago
[01:55.75] When you think about me
[01:58.15] Do you think about 17?
[02:00.23] Do you think about my old Jeep
[02:02.78] Think about the stars in the sky?
[02:05.04] Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
[02:09.49] Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
[02:18.13] Springsteen
[02:20.58]
[02:22.64] Springsteen
[02:24.87]
[02:46.68] Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
[02:51.35] Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
[02:59.73] Springsteen
[03:03.35]
[03:08.83] Springsteen
[03:13.08] Oh, Springsteen
[03:15.25]
