Текст песни Bruce Springsteen - In Freehold

I was born right here on Randolph street 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 all lived and worked right here in Freehold

I remember running up the street past the convent & the church in Freehold

chased my daddy down in these bars

first fell in love with this guitar, here in Freehold

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

Maria Espinosa baby, where are you tonight

you were 13 but way ahead of your time

I walked home with a limp but I felt just fine, that night in Freehold

Well the girls at Freehold Regional yeah, they all looked pretty fine

had my heart broke at least a half a dozen times

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

would they had dumped me if they knew I'd strike it rich, straight out of Freehold

Well, a lot of folks gave us kids a hand in Freehold

Man, we started up our rock n roll band in Freehold

well we learned really quick how to rock it

I'll never forget the feeling of that first 5 bucks in my pocket, that I earned in Freehold

Well I got outta here hard and fast in Freehold

everybody wanted to kick my ass back there in Freehold

well if you were different black or brown

it was a pretty redneck town, back there in Freehold

Well now something broke my Daddy's back in Freehold

he left and for 30 years he'd never come back

except once he drove from California in just three days

called my relatives some dirty names

drove straight out of Freehold

Now he's buried by the highway, buried in the dirt

his ghost just flippin' the bird, to everybody in Freehold

Well, my sister got pregnant at 17 in Freehold

Back then people they could be pretty mean

Now honey you had a rough road to go

now 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 had a lot more hair in Freehold

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

now all I can say is "Holy shit I'm back", back in Freehold

Well I read something in the paper a couple weeks ago 

that seemed pretty funny

The town council was debating about putting up a statue,

a statue of me in my home town, but it cost too much money

well I'd like to thank the Town Council, my friends,

for saving me from humiliation

by demonstrating the good hard common sense that we learned in Freehold

Well this summer everything was green

rode with my kids on the fire engines through the streets of Freehold

I brought them to where dad was born and raised.

and first felt the sun on his face, in Freehold
