Bruce Springsteen Philadelphia Lyrics

Here you'll find the Bruce Springsteen Philadelphia song lyrics along with my demo on how I play this song on the acoustic as well as a music video of this great tune.

This song was the soundtrack for the film Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks back in 1994. Although this song won several Grammy awards and was a #1 hit in many countries, the song did not make it to #1 in the US, but did reach #3 on the charts. The vocal track was recorded live as Springsteen is listening to a backup track as he walks thru various areas of Philadelphia as you'll see in the music video below.

--- Start Of Bruce Springsteen Philadelphia Lyrics ---

I was bruised and battered I couldnt
Tell what I felt .. I was ... unrecognizable to myself
I saw my ...reflection in a window I didn't
Know my own face oh brother are you
Gonna leave me wastin´away ... On the streets of philadelphia

na na na na .. na na na na ... na na na na .. na na na na
na na na na .. na na na na ... na na na na .. na na na na

I walked the avenue till my legs ... felt like stone I heard
The voices of friends vanished and gone
At night ... I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as ... Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia

na na na na .. na na na na ... na na na na .. na na na na
na na na na .. na na na na ... na na na na .. na na na na

Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes don't fit me no more I walked
A thousand miles .. Just to slip the skin

The night has fallen, Im lyinawake I can
Feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your ... faithless kiss
Or will we ... leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia

na na na na .. na na na na ... na na na na .. na na na na
na na na na .. na na na na ... na na na na .. na na na na
