Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Johnny 99 - 29th June 1985, Parc De La Courneuve, Paris, France (by mrchappelow3)
Now judge judge I had debts no honest man could pay
The bank was holdin’ my mortgage and they was takin’ my house away
Now I ain’t sayin’ that makes me an innocent man
But it was more’n all this that put that gun in my handAs I left home after listening to the news about the general economic meltdown going on in Europe my ipod shuffle threw me with Johnny 99 this morning.
My fault, I had temporarily forgotten just how relevant the Boss is these days - and always and forever, amen.
This is one of my favorite songs from Nebraska, maybe only behind “State Trooper”. However, I’m at least half reblogging...
Always and Forever, Amen.
