Springsteen on Jeopardy - 7.6.18

My old man Never played springsteen If I could I would have sat him down to listen he’d understand ‘the river’ if we could’ve got through the barriers between me our years, him but this was not meant to be he was one bank of the water me always on the other side we formed bridges when it was too late he’d had his own things keeping his head busy & the words couldn’t match up that muddy water we’d let flow over the running years had flowed too strong & I see it now the return has come my youngest can’t hear me our meanings slide on by & I’ve played her springsteen she loves some of the songs doesn’t yet understand maybe never will he speaks of our history there those stories I never could tell locked away inside not the hero not the winner just a guy trying to get by make the best of a bad situation & doing his best not to run
