Lyrics From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) - Live at Time Warner Cable Arena, Charlotte, NC - 04/19/14 - Bruce Springsteen

At 16 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 dont you worry none
From small things mama, big things one day come

It was late one friday
He pulled in outta 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 rock
Well from small things mama, big things one day come

Oh, but love is fleeting
Its sad but true
When your heart is bleeding
You dont wanna hear the news

She packed her bags
And with a Wyoming county real estate man
She went down to tampa
In an "El dorado" grand
She wrote back to her mama
Life is just heaven in the sun
From small things mama, big things one day come

Well, she shot him dead on a sunny florida road
And when they caught her all she said
Was she couldnt stand the way he drove
Back home, dear johnny prays for his bettys parole
He waits on the hillside where the lonely waters roll
At his feet and almost grown now
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
Yeah, from small things mama, big things one day come
