| Bruce Springsteen – Straight Time Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
"Can't get the smell from my hands" refers to his job at the rendering plant. Talk to anyone who has worked at a rendering plant and this is a common problem. He has a sawed off shotgun on hand just in case he in fact decides to "go tripping cross that thin line." But in the final stanza he's still living the straight life; he just came home from work after another regular day. |
