Bruce Springsteen Real Quotations

I had tried to go to college, and I didn't really fit in. I went to a real narrow-minded school where people gave me a lot of trouble, and I was hounded off the campus - I just looked different and acted different, so I left school.

I was real good at music and real bad at everything else.

There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.

I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.

Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz between what's flesh and what's fantasy.

Well now I'm no hero, that's understood. All the redemption I can offer girl, is beneath this dirty hood. With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now? Except roll down the window, and let the wind blow back your hair. Well the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere. We got one last chance to make it real.

Talk about a dream, try to make it real. You wake up in the night with a fear so real. Spend your life waiting for a moment that just don’t come. Well don’t waste your time waiting.

All people have is hope. That's what brings the next day and whatever that day may bring. A hope grounded in the real world of living, friendship, work, family.

We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool, stay out all night, it's gonna be alright.

You'll walk with me out on the wire, cuz baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider, but I gotta know how it feels... I want to know love is wild, babe, I want to know love is real.
