Bruce Springsteen - Highway Patrolman слова песни
My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state Im a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8 I always done an honest job as honest as I could I got a brother named Franky and Franky aint no good Now ever since we was young kids its been the same come down I get a call over the radio Frankys in trouble downtown Well if it was any other man, Id put him straight away But when its your brother sometimes you look the other way Me and Franky laughin and drinkin nothin feels better than blood on blood Takin turns dancin with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood" I catch him when hes strayin like any brother would Man turns his back on his family well he just aint no good Well Franky went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment settled down took Maria for my wife But them wheat prices kept on droppin till it was like we were gettin robbed Franky came home in 68 and me I took this job Yea were laughin and drinkin nothin feels better than blood on blood Takin turns dancin with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood" I catch him when hes strayin, teach him how to walk that line Man turns his back on his family he aint no friend of mine The night was like any other, I got a call bout quarter to nine There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line There was a kid lyin on the floor lookin bad, bleedin hard from his head there was a girl cryin at a table, it was Frank they said Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights I must of done 110 through Michigan county that night It was out at the crossroads down round Willow bank Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank Well I chased him through them county roads till a sign said Canadian border 5 miles from here I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear Me and Franky laughin and drinkin nothin feels better than blood on blood Takin turns dancin with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood" I catch him when hes strayin like any brother would Man turns his back on his family well he just aint no good
