except that there aren't any more jobs at the carwash anymore. Live in your car, eat out of the dumpsters....multiply that one by how many millions of Americans right now. Harvest time coming soon. EAT THE RICH!
i remember going down dirt roads to this song. now they have paved the roads and i still remember Bruce, singing to me in the Pioneer Stereo Radio that i had i had in my car!! How old is that?? to people that remember it?? God, How i loved those days, where did they go??
this is the greatest song that came from-born in the USA, it tells a story that only a story teller could tell, Love this song Bruce!! Besides Human Touch, this is the best song/story Bruce has ever told!
you know i turned 18 last friday and as presents i got bob dylan's greatest hits and together through life and neill youngs fork in the road i liked it but in my opinion absolutely no one can compete with a Mr.Bruce Springsteen no one this song and many others more than cements that claim "im on fire,the river,stolen car,the rising,human touch. but to name just a few
Aye. While all the other songs on the album became some of the world's greatest hits Downbound Train was fading away, but I think it's a an awesome song!!!!!!!!
I won't go so far as to say he's the greatest of any of those three, but he's an awesome talent I never get tired of listening to. And this song, as with many of his songs, still resonate with truth.
k4driver2: OH i may have misunderstood he just looks so drivin by his passion the more he ages, so mature and you can feel all of him in the expressions! He is spellbinding and it just does'nt strike me to look at it as looking "older" just more well defined. :)I just have a multitude of admiration for all he stands for!!!
Wow! That's pretty funny considering i'm an 47 year old FEMALE!! Maybe you are GAY, but i am STRAIGHT, and it is sad that you percieve people as gay for comments they choose to make about the best storyteller ever!! Grow up, didn't your mother ever teach you that if you have nothing nice to say, you should shut your pie hole?
I'm sorry but i disagree, Bruce looks awesome the older he gets the more distinguished he looks, we all should be so lucky to age like fine wine as he is!!:)He still has allthat carisma and fine lookin!!
Ultimate version of the song so far. Steve's solo roxx! I was there and I was hoping it was recorded. I have it on DVD for years but nice to watch it at work too! kOk
the years have been unkind to you bruce, but they could have been worse, I am surprised that he has played this or born in the usa on his concert tour...LONG LIVE THE BOSS OF ROCK AND ROLL
I ment on his face...he is showing his age...but he has led a life anyone should use as a model to get famous as a rockstar...This is how all rock stars today should be like.
I have no idea why this song isn't considered as one of, if not the best song he's ever written. This song is beautiful, haunting, sad beyond mere words, and still, his words convey a sadness he either went through or watched. Living in an apartment when this album was released, I blasted this album for weeks. He's an excellent songwriter.
I was just getting over the love of my life when this song came out, and I felt as dark and lonely as these lyrics. I got her pregnant and couldn't stop her abortion, and that part of my past I'll never get over. Some of the songs from '84 just tear off the scabs and it's a fresh wound all over again.
HEART - thanks Bruce for showin us what we want in a person, and musician,,, no doubt top ten musicianzzz ever, eazzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeey... b.marley, stevie ray vaughan, jewel, tupac, the tempations, buddy holly,oh yea and if you disagree, well you know ....what you can do.

The BOSS is the man, still cuts it.
Got into Album Born inthe USA about `86,
wore out that tape. But still find this song touches echoes
in my life and makes me feel uplifted and sad.
Very strange sensation, describes a lingering sense of lost love to me and other things .

Pros
•All 14 tracks are quality tunes, and almost all of those are classics.
•A magical blend of often despairing themes with exuberant rock and roll.
•Rarely has accessibility been so perfectly married with literate songwriting.
Cons
•The bar is set so high that a couple of songs could have been cut to make an even stronger album.
Description
•This is a 20th century masterpiece that rivals some modern fiction in its narrative intensity.
