Straight Time by Bruce Springsteen


Got out of prison back in '86 and I found me a wife

Walked the clean and narrow

Just tryin' to stay out and stay alive

Got a job at the rendering factoryit ain't gonna make me rich

In the darkness before dinner comes

Sometimes I can feel the it

I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line

I'm sick of doin straight time

 

My uncles at the evenin' table makes his living runnin' hot cars

Slips me a hundred dollar bill says

"Charlie you best remember who your friend are."

I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line

I ain't makin' straight time

Eight years in it feels like you're gonna die

But you get used to anything

Sooner or later it becomes your life

 

Kitchen floor in the evening tossin' my little babies high

Mary's smilin' but she watches me out of the corner of her eye

Seems you can't get any more than half free

I step out onto the front porch and suck

The cold air deep inside of me

Got a cold mind to go tripping cross that thin line

I'm sick of doin' straight time

 

In the basement huntin' gun and a hacksaw

Sip a beer and thirteen inches of barrel drop to the floor

 

Come home in the evening can't get the smell from my hands

Lay my head down on the pillow
