lirik lagu bruce springsteen - highway patrolman (live in dublin)

my name’s joe roberts, i work for the state
i’m a sergeant out of perrineville, barracks number eight
i always done an honest job, as honest as i could
got a brother named franky, franky ain’t no good

ever since we was young kids, it’s been the same come down
i get a call on the shortwave, franky’s in trouble downtown
if it was any other man, i’d put him straight away
but when it’s your brother sometimes you look the other way

yeah 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, 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 bride
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

yeah 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, he just ain’t no good

well the night was like any other, i get a call about 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
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 musta done a hundred and ten through michigan county that night
it was out at the crossroads, yeah, down ’round willow bank
i seen a buick with ohio plates, behind the wheel was frank

well i chased him through those county roads
till a sign said “canadian border five miles from here”
i pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear

yeah, 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, he just ain’t no good

help me!

thank you!
