Intro to “My Hometown”

(chuckles) (crowd cheers) and, uh, could always breathe a little easier up, up there, like where I grew up was…I don’t know…but, uh, I got around 19 and I got to go out on the road and I started traveling and for a long time never missed it, never wanted to go back…didn’t wonder what happened to the people I knew…then when I got to my late twenties, I started to go home and I’d get in my car and I’d ride down the old streets that I grew up on, I would drive at night past the houses I grew up in and wonder who lived in there now and what their lives were like…and I realized that the place that you’re born in and that you’re raised in never leaves you, it always stays in your blood…and, uh…I guess that means that you got, that you belong someplace…that’s not so bad (chuckles) I used to think it was (chuckles) but if you belong someplace, that means you got some responsibility to it, I guess…and that was the hardest thing that I had to deal with with my hometown (chuckles) so (crowd cheers) still working on it (chuckles) but, uh…let me make sure I say this right – I’ll be right back…what I wanna say is de ma ville natale à votre ville natale (crowd cheers) from my hometown to your hometown…”

Intro to “I’m on Fire”
“I remember coming home late…when I lived at home with my folks …I’d stand in the driveway and I’d look through the screen door and I could see my father sitting in the kitchen…waiting for me to go in …and it seemed like the only time he’d want to talk to me…was after he’d been sitting there for a while…it seemed like he was always, always angry…always mad…always (?)…he’d sit there all night thinking about everything he wasn’t ever gonna have…till he’d get me thinking like that too…I’d lay up in bed…and I’d think that if something didn’t happen…if something…if something didn’t happen to me…I felt like I was just gonna…I felt like someday I’d just…I felt like I was just gonna…”
