Bruce Springsteen - Gave It A Name lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Gave It A Name lyrics]
In the fields of the Lord stood Abel and Cain
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain
At night
He couldn't stand the guilt or the blame
So he gave it a name so he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Billy got drunk, angry at his wife
He hit her once, he hit her twice
At night he'd lie in bed
He couldn't stand the shame
So he gave it a name so he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Pa told me "Son, one thing I know is true
Poison snake bites you, you're poison too"
At night I can feel that
Poison runnin' round my veins
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain
At night
He couldn't stand the guilt or the blame
So he gave it a name so he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Billy got drunk, angry at his wife
He hit her once, he hit her twice
At night he'd lie in bed
He couldn't stand the shame
So he gave it a name so he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Pa told me "Son, one thing I know is true
Poison snake bites you, you're poison too"
At night I can feel that
Poison runnin' round my veins
