Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.
Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.

Living Proof (from the album "Lucky Town") -----------
INTRO: D
Well now on a summer night in a dusky room DG
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light D
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon AG
In his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take DG
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make DA
In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused GD
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy GA
I found living proof GDGD
I put my heart and soul I put 'em hight upon a shelf Right next to the faith the faith that I'd lost in myself I went down into the desert city Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin I crawled deep into some kind of darkness Lookin' to burn out every trace of who I'd been You do some sad sad things baby When it's your you 're tryin' to lose You do some sad and hurtfull things I've seen living proof
You shot through my anger and rage A
To show me my prison was just an open cage Em
There were no keys no guards A
Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars GADGD
Well now all that's sure on the boulevard Is that life is just a house of cards As fragile as each and every breath Of this boy sleepin' in our bed Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves Just a close band of happy thieves And when that train comes we'll get on board And steal what we can from the treasures treasures of the Lord It's been along long drought baby Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof Looking for a little bit of God's mercy I found living proof Oh, living proof I found living proof Yeah living proof GDGD
(Repeat until fade)
