Bruce Springsteen - The Big Payback Lyrics
I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
Out in the sun by the railroad track
I got a job and I'm a-breaking my back
Working and working for the big payback
I keep a-sweating like all get out
I work so long that I'm a-losing track
Waiting waiting on the big payback
Well it's a wham bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train rumbling down this track
They got your neck in the noose, you're dragging long in back
Chasing and chasing the big payback
Oh what my foreman does well I don't know
Oh well-a all day long he's just a diddy wack wack
While I'm sweating and sweating for the big payback
Yeah it's a wham bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train rumbling down the track
They got your neck in the noose, your hands are tied up in back
And you're a-working and working for the big payback
I quit that job and Mister I ain't going back
Got me a knife and she's a long and black
I'll tell you how I make my piece at night Mac
Down in the alley of the big payback
I go a wham bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, c'mon man
You're a gone dead train rumbling down this track
I got your neck in the noose and I don't give a damn Jack
I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

Bruce Springsteen The Big Payback Comments
Embarrassing music. Must be from Australia.
My brother was walking down the railroad tracks with his hands behind his neck. The engineer put on his brakes, but the train was moving too fast. We had Hurricane Agnes, My Gandpa died in June, I had my first son on my Birthday the end of July. He will
always remember his Mom. I was driving over town to get my son his first snow suit and took an alternate route because their was a large crowd gathered underneath the RR tracks. It was my only little brother. My neck may be in your noose, and you may not give a damn. That really makes you one Hell of a Big Man!
