Lyrics for Randolph Street by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Randolph Street | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 159 | | | | Lyrics: | I remember yesterday
When I'd sit and watch the hound dogs play
Howlin' at the China
moon
Now yesterday is the busted balloon
Life was young and things were easy,
Days were

Times were good

She sighed because she could not give it
We
