Bruce Springsteen Lyrics
Devils & Dust
I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust

I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
And the smell began to rise

We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo]

Now every woman and every man
They wanna take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commands
I've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust

Well I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Yeah it'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo]

The entire cd is top-notch. It's on my top ten list. Asked for it for my B-day but no-one would buy it for me because Bruce protests the war. Dang politics mess up everything. So, I check it out at the library everyother week. =)

Now that's a stupid reason for not getting that as a gift. It sounds just like something my side of the family would say.

Dust devils are great for vacuuming the stairs.

What?



Saw Bruce way back about '78 at Red Rocks. He & the E Street guys played everything they had recorded so far and when they ran out of their own material, they played Beatles, Stones, Everly Brothers & everything else you could imagine for another three hours. It was like a 5-hour show.

Helluva songwriter And performer.
