| | | Artist: | BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Highway Patrolman | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 161 | | | | Lyrics: | My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state
I'm 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
ain't no good
Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
I get a
call over the radio Franky's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him
straight away
But when it's 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 he's strayin' like any
brother would
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't 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 we're 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 he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family
he ain't 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
