Brothers Under The Bridges 83 lyrics

Every spring when the weather gets warm
They come pourin` into town straight off of them farms
Driving 455s running hard and strong
They`d scratch built in them tool sheds all winter long
`Neath the trestless drinkin` the beer and the wine
Now some came on run, some just to pass the time
With the brothers under the bridges

Me and Tommy we was just fourteen, didn`t have our licenses yet
Our walls were covered with pictures of cars we`d get
We`d listen and wait for that highway to rumble and quake
As they drove in through town when the weekend`d break
Bringin` girls with that distant look in their eyes
Now together `neath the trestless they`d be laughing in the night
With the brothers under the bridges

Well me and my brother`d hitched a ride in Joey`s pickup to the edge of town
And we watched from the tall grass as the challenges were made and the duels went down
We`d hitchhike back home, sneak in, get in bed before our mom`d come
And we`d lay there in the night talkin` about how we might someday be one
Yeah someday run with the brothers under the bridges

Well now I hear a cry in the distance and the sound of marching feet come and gone
Well I`m stittin` down here by this highway figuring, figuring just where I belong
Tonight up on Signal Hill
I watch a young man in a red shirt walking through a night so still
Put his jacket `round his girl as the autumn wind send a chill
Through the brothers under the bridges
