Lyrics:
I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir, me and her we had us some fun
Now the jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap
They declared me unfit to live, said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world

I can watch this man talk for hours. He doesn't even need to sing. Just talk talk talk talk, till I lose my patience

I just listened to this album today for the first time. Christ, what took me so long? Always liked Bruce even though I only knew 2-3 songs. What a masterpiece. Tears started flowing after a few notes of the song Nebraska. So moved by the depth of it, the story, the universal feelings of alienation. What a gifted songwriter. I love you, Bruce❤.

"I guess there's just a meanness in this world." I think about that line all the time.

[@damotheman4196]

Same, man. Great line to end on a song also, in a lesser mans hands it could've been a mess of a song... But the boss does it justice. Theres dark nights of the soul here.. He's in the song.. Living it.

He does his research and than nails it like no one else

How did it take me so long to find this album? Brilliant.

[@MattSmith-iq1ld]

Just a magical album, and so much of it is the WAY it was recorded. It sounds like something somebody would find in a bunker 100 years after a nuclear catastrophe. It has a certain atmosphere. Amazing to think that the "Nebraska" song "Highway Patrolman"....its storyline......was made into a major Hollywood motion picture called The Indian Runner by Sean Penn.

[@wildsmiley]

Matt Smith Yeah. My favorite Bruce album (though Tunnel Of Love is a very close second).
And it was just Bruce’s four track demo cassette he recorded at his house with the intention of doing those songs with the band, but it didn’t suit the material, so he turned back to the tape he’d been carrying around in his back pocket and put that out instead.
As for ‘Highway Patrolman’, well, that’s my favorite Nebraska song. And The Indian Runner was quite good. I feel like you could make a film adaptation of each of that album’s songs (the title track was already inspired by the film Badlands which itself was inspired by the real life murderCharles Starkweather), but it would be unnecessary since Bruce’s lyrics are so cinematic already.

This is so beautiful, very well said, I enjoyed it very much.

Y todos teníamos pelo en la cabeza

[@selinakerr4949]

Love this I think with all his songs there's so much emotion goes into it and it's all about life that's why I love his music and have been a fan since I was a kid thank you for uploading these videos brilliant selina 🎶🌹❤️

[@josephporter4852]

I hope he watches the documentary on Paramont+, "12th Victim" and apologizes to Caril Ann Fugate for even thinking that 14 year old girl was an accomplice to those murders as Bruce portays in this song. She is still alive and even decendents of Charles Starkweather have proclaimed her innocent.

[@MrOctober44]

Pump the brakes on your moral outrage. She was tried and convicted. She tried to get a pardon and was denied. There's plenty of crimes where victims family members speak on the behalf of the convicted. They have no proof of her innocence or guilt
