Long Time Comin'
Bruce Springsteen

Out where the creek turn shallow and sandy
And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars
When the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
Straight into my arms
Straight into my arms

I'm ridin' hard carryin' a cache of roses
A fresh map that I made
Now I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on it's grave
And dance on it's grave

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
And now it's here

Well my daddy he was just a stranger
Lived in a hotel downtown
Well when I was a kid he was just somebody
Somebody I'd see around
Somebody I'd see around

Well now down below and pullin' on my shirt
Yeah I got some kids of my own
Well if I had one wish for you in this god forsaken world, kid
It'd be that your mistakes will be your own
That your sins will be your own

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
And now it's here

(Whoaaa)

Out 'neath the arms of Cassiopeia*
Where the sword of Orion sweeps
It's me and you, Rosie, cracklin' like crossed wires
And you breathin' in your sleep
And you breathin' in your sleep

Well there's just a spark of a campfire left burnin'
Two kids in a sleeping bag beside
Reach 'neath your shirt, put my hands across your belly and feel
Another one kickin' inside
And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here

What's been a long time comin' and now its here?

Was Springsteen's daddy really a stranger who lived in a hotel?

Everybody's sins are their own and everybody's mistakes are their own, unless as was my case I was forced to SIN. But, if you sold your soul to the devil, THEY'RE YOUR OWN and if you don't force your kids into the same life, their sins and mistakes will be their own!!

Here you go. ROSIE surfaces again. Is this Rosie from Rosalita (BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN), is this "Cracklin' Rosie (NEIL DIAMOND), is this "Here Comes Old Rosie (BOB SEGER)?

This song was written when HE was married to Patti. Who in the hell is ROSIE? Care to tell us? Good thing Rosie's breathin' in her sleep.

He's got some kids of his own. Are these the same two kids sleeping next to him and Rosie?

Rosie is pregnant! WHAT?????

He's not gonna f**k what up this time?
