Lyrics Bruce Springsteen – From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)
Text:
A one, tow, three, four!
One, tow, three, four!
At sixteen she quit high school to make a fortune in the Promised Land
She got a job behind the counter in an all-night hamburger stand
From small things, mama, big things one day come
It was late one Friday, he pulled in out of the dark
He was tall and handsome, first she took his order then she took his heart
They bought a house on the hillside, where little feet soon would run
From small things, mama, big things one day come
Oh but love is fleeting, it’s sad but true
When your heart is beating, you don’t wanna hear the news
She packed her bags and with a Wyomie County real estate man
She ran down to Tampa in an «El Dorado Grande»
She wrote back, «dear mama, life is just heaven in the sun
From small things, mama, big things one day come»
Come on Max!
Well she shot him dead on a sunny Florida road
And when they caught her all she said was she couldn’t stand the way he drove
Back home dear Johnny prays for his baby’s parole
He waits on the hillside where the Wyomie waters roll
At his feet and almost grown now, a blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
Well from small things, mama, big things one day come
Yeah from small things, mama, big things one day come
