Information About

Nebraska (song)




The song was inspired by Terrence Malick 's film '' Badlands '', a fictionalized interpretation of the Spree Killer Charles Starkweather . Many of the details in the song, such as the song's first two lines, "I saw her standing on her front lawn/ just a twirling her baton", are drawn from the film.

The song contains some inaccuracies; for instance, Starkweather killed eleven people, while the song states that ten people died.
