Lyrics:
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back
To your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
This is your hometown

Bruce was not known as “ the boss” for his singing talent, initially. It became a myth, before the true story was told. Prior to being famous, Bruce and the band played many venues where he earned the name “ the boss” for distributing the money to each of the band members after the show. He was honest and acknowledged everyone involved in the performance. A Great human being who never stole the show because he appreciated everyone’s contribution and talent. His title obviously gained traction from his musical talent, and that is the true story of where the origin of his title came from. He is and always will be “The Boss” ❤️

Beware scammers. I have only been listening to Bruce for 6 months. I am now 75. a year older than the Boss. I have made a concentrated study of his career and l can’t believe what l have missed. To say that l am now a fan puts it mildly. I listen to him every day and am devastated that l am not able to go to a concert. But there are lots of things l can’t do now and l accept my limitations. I thank from my heart all those dedicated fans who have posted clips or full concerts over the years. They bring me great pleasure. He deserves his nickname. There is no-one like him.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

If you ever wondered why they call him " The Boss" .. when he lifts the mic and the audience responds in perfect synchronicity ..Bruce just takes them home ... its beyond beautiful

Habe Bruce Springsteen gesehen war mein erstes Konzert Damals in der DDR einfach großartig. Jetzt mit 58 habe ich viele große Musiker gesehen, aber das erste Konzert bleibt für immer in meinem Herzen Musik die viel Emotionen nach oben bringt. Seid gegrüßt und bleibt gesund.

They don't call him the boss for any reason. Just listen, his message is loud and clear. Love you Bruce, stay strong!

Mój rodzinny dom, ja go nie miałem, tylko na święta i wakacje. Takie miałem dzieciństwo, które spędziłem od sześciu lat w domu dziecka w Zamościu, w Polsce. Gdy moja mama świętej pamięci nie dawała sobie rady z utrzymaniem nas , musiała mnie i moje rodzeństwo oddać do domu dziecka.,ale ja się nie skarżę 12 lat lat tam spędziłem, obecnie mam 52 lata., a muzyka Bruca Springsteena koi moją duszę i daje mi w pewnym sensie spokój. Ogólnie jak tylko dorosłem to lubiłem słuchać dobrej muzyki, czy to Pop, czy inna, i mam do tej pory dobry słuch. Wychowywało mnie państwo.

Perdi um primo irmão que amava essa música, morou nos USA e sempre mandava pra gente essa música...Saudades DU, DEUS te dê o descanso eterno...❤

The way the audience just comes together in harmony and sings the chorus, this is what I miss about the world. This is how I wish the world was today. No arguing, no fighting, no accusations. Just everyone coming together in harmony and peace
