Bruce Springsteen - From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) Lyrics
At sixteen she quit high school tomake her fortune in the promised landshe got a job behind the counter in anall night hamburhger standshe wrote faithfully home to mama"Now mama don't you worry none"From small things, mamaBig things one day comeIt was late one Friday he pulled inout of the darkHe was tall and handsome;first shetook his order, then she took his heartThey bought a house up on the hillsideWhere little feet soon would runFrom small things, mamaBig things one day comeBRIDGEOh but love is fleetingIt's sad but trueBut when your heart is beatingYou don't wanna hear the newsShe packed her bagsand with a Wyomie County real state manShe ran down to TampaIn and "El Dorado Grande"She wrote back home, "Dear MamaLife is just heaven in the sunFrom small things, mamaBig things one day come"Well she shot him deadOn a sunny Florida roadWhen they caught her all she saidWas she could't stand the way he droveBack home lonesome JohnnyPrays for his baby's paroleHe waits on the hillsideWhere the Wyomie waters rollAt his feet and almost grown nowA blue-eyed daughter and a handsome sonWell from small things, mamaBig things one day comeWell from small things, mamaBig things one day come
