Highway Patrolman lyrics

Send "Highway Patrolman" Ringtone to your Cell Written by Bruce Springsteen. ( Bruce Springsteen.) From `Love, God and Murder`, 1997, Columbia/Legacy. My name is Joe Roberts; I work for the state. I`m a sergeant out of Perrineville: barracks number eight. I`ve always done an honest job; honest as I could. Got a brother named Frankie; Frankie ain`t no good. Well ever since we were young kids, it`s been the same come down: I`d get a call on the shortwave; Frankie`s in trouble down town. Well if it was any other man, I`d put him straight away. But sometimes when it`s your brother, you look the other way. Yeah, me and Frankie laughin` and drinkin`; Nothin` feels better than blood on blood. Takin` turns dancin` with Maria, While the band played `The Night of the Johnstown Flood`. I catch him when he`s strayin`, like any brother should. Man turns his back on his family, he ain`t no good. Well Frankie went into the army back in 1965, I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife. But them wheat prices kept on droppin`, `til it was like we`s gettin` robbed. Frankie came home in `68, and me, I took this job. Yeah, me and Frankie laughin` and drinkin`; Nothin` feels better than blood on blood. Takin` turns dancin` with Maria, While the band played `The 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, ain`t no friend of mine. The night was like any other, I got a call `bout a quarter-to-nine. There was trouble at a roadhouse, out on the Michigan line. There was a kid on the floor lookin` bad, bleedin` hard from his head. There was a girl cryin` at a table: `It was Frankie,` she said. I ran out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights. I musta done about a hundred and ten, through Michigan county that night. It was down by the crossroads, out by Willow Bank. Seen a Buick with Ohio plates; behind the wheel was Frank. Well I chased him through them county roads. `Til a sign said `Canadian border five miles from here`. Pulled over to the side of the highway, Watched the tail-lights disappear. Yeah, me and Frankie laughin` and drinkin`; Nothin` feels better than blood on blood. Takin` turns dancin` with Maria, While the band played `The Night of the Johnstown Flood`. I catch him when he`s strayin`, like any brother should. Man turns his back on his family, he ain`t no good.
