Bruce Springsteen - Jeanny Needs A Shooter Lyrics
I was born down by the riverWhere the dirty river flowsAnd the cool wind cut through meIt cut right through my clothesAnd the anger and the yearningLike fever in my veinsSet the fire burningShe came down from knightstownWith her hands hard from the lineFrom the first time I laid eyes on herI knew that shes be mineHer father was a lawmanHe swore hed shoot me deadcause he knew I wanted jeannieAnd Id have her like Id saidJeannie needs a shooter, shooter like meJeannie needs a shooterJeannie needs a shooter, shooter on her sideJeannie needs a shooterJeannie needs a shooterJeannie needs a shooterWe met down by the riverOn the final day in mayAnd when I leaned down to kiss herShe did not turn awayI drew out all my moneyAnd together we did vowTo meet that very eveningAnd to get away somehowJeannie needs a shooter, shooter like meJeannie needs a shooterJeannie needs a shooter, shooter on her sideJeannie needs a shooterJeannie needs a shooterJeannie needs a shooterThe night was cold and rainyDown by the borderlineI was riding hard to meet herWhen a shot rang out behindAs I lay there in the darknessWith a pistol by my sideJeannie and her fatherRode off into the nightJeannie needs a shooter
