Bruce Springsteen - From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) Lyrics






A one, tow, three, four!
One, tow, three, four!

At sixteen she quit high school to make a fortune in the Promised Land
She got a job behind the counter in an all-night hamburger stand
She wrote faithfully home to mama, "now mama don't you worry none"
From small things, mama, big things one day come

It was late one Friday, he pulled in out of the dark
He was tall and handsome, first she took his order then she took his heart
They bought a house on the hillside, where little feet soon would run
From small things, mama, big things one day come

Oh but love is fleeting, it's sad but true
When your heart is beating, you don't wanna hear the news
She packed her bags and with a Wyomie County real estate man
She ran down to Tampa in an "El Dorado Grande"
She wrote back, "dear mama, life is just heaven in the sun
From small things, mama, big things one day come"

Come on Max!

Well she shot him dead on a sunny Florida road
And when they caught her all she said was she couldn't stand the way he drove
Back home dear Johnny prays for his baby's parole
He waits on the hillside where the Wyomie waters roll
At his feet and almost grown now, a blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
Well from small things, mama, big things one day come
Yeah from small things, mama, big things one day come

    'The night Bruce Springsteen jumped on stage to surprise a Welsh rock legend'

  3. T.... m....

    Ha! I've been loving this song forever! I just got the ending. Sometimes you don't need to know all the words to a great rock and roll song.

  4. j.... l....

    Simply a great song. This is Rock n" Roll magic.

  5. J.... L....

    Rock & Roll!!

  6. a.... ....

    Edmunds & don't like
    Springsteen, i think
    Springsteen does it better😁

  7. J.... P....

    nobody play the racca racca like Dave E

  8. W.... R....

    A great version,2me best !!

  9. B.... C....

    I just realized that I need to spend my life's savings buying a convertible....

  10. G.... ....

    When he's on his game no one can touch The Boss when it comes to writing poignant songs that rock like hell and tell a powerful story.

  11. a.... a....

    Esta buena canción la compuso BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN para DAVE EDMUNDS que la canto y la publico en el año 1982 y después en el año 1998 la canto BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

  12. M.... ....

    TV Movie ;)

  13. J.... ....

    Burger flippers wanna start out at $15 an hour right off of the bat. The same as some skilled professionals.

  14. B.... ....

    Apparently there are 6 real estate men in Wyomie.

    B.... ....

    Boxhawk And their number is growing.

  15. F.... P....

    prefiero la version de dave edmunds

  16. j.... p....

    toujours impressionnant le boss a écouter

  17. J.... H....

    I think I hit 120 on the parkway last week when this came on

    J.... H....

    This song always makes me put the pedal down

    J.... H....

    You probably passed me.

    J.... H....

    John Haggerty the chuck berry 5&6 rhythm will do that to u

  18. H.... R....

    Y are all songs from Bruce better from other artists ??

  19. L.... T....

    A short story from life!

  20. N.... C....

    rock on Uncle!

  21. B.... M....

    No one has come by and does rockabilly better than the Boss. With apologies to Setzer.

    B.... M....

    Baron Moritani Now that's funny!

    B.... M....

    Setzer? You're kidding right. The reference is Dave Edmunds. Setzer, sheesh.

    B.... M....

    wheatonna I'm a Dave Edmunds fan, but to me Brian Setzer is in a class by himself.

  22. a.... ....

    Rock and roll poetry of the highest order from The Boss!

  23. I.... ....

    Adrian W, Dave Edmunds nails this song perfectly, but it was given to him by Bruce ;-) I guess you know that, but anyway... I think that Bruce do it justice by the bucketloads. I love 'em both. Edmunds is a truly great artist and has done many great things over the years, and so has Bruce. They're both what I would call GREAT!!!

  24. B.... S....

    i like the piano scrape at the end

  25. B.... S....

    this and born to run are the best songs by him

  26. I.... S....

    <3 this song!

  27. A.... w....

    great song but i do think Dave Edmund's just nails this track for me anyways
