Gene Micofsky - Letter to Springsteen Lyrics

I was 11 years old when we moved out from the city
I was told a change would do us good
I couldn't know just how hard it would hit me
I tried to make it all as difficult as I could
Made new friends on a hot summer weekend
Playing tackle football in the back of the yard
Born in the USA cassette tape playing
And riding in the back of the family car
I didn't care that tape or that town, I was above it all

One day, one day, somebody told me
Some day, some day, you're gonna come around now
One day, one day, it'll fall upon you
Some day, some day, you're gonna miss this town

Somewhere, somebody got this all confused
And the good name of the people here started getting abused
Got this industrial America and these charlatan casinos
Reality TV really set it off
But there's real heart here that can't be manufactured
Honest people just trying to make it work
Riding these freeways stretching out for miles
But they crack when nature fights its way up from the dirt

One day, one day, somebody told me
Some day, some day, you're gonna come around now
One day, one day, it'll fall upon you
Some day, some day, you're gonna miss this town

It was Giant Stadium in 2009
I was an outsider pretending I could walk the walk
Bought a few records, tried to get into the spirit
Listened to Born to Run maybe a couple of times
Wrecking ball hit me and I was converted
When he took the stage like a minister on fire
Left me thinking about that old tape and that old car
Reminiscing good times, they don't seem so far

One day, one day, somebody told me
Some day, some day, you're gonna come around now
One day, one day, it'll fall upon you
Some day, some day, you're gonna miss this town
