Highway Patrolman - Bruce Springsteen[00:00:00]
My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state[00:00:05]
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8[00:00:13]
I always done an honest job as honest as I could[00:00:23]
I got a brother named Franky and Franky ain't no good[00:00:32]
Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down[00:00:42]
I get a call along the showed way[00:00:51]
Franky's in trouble downtown[00:00:55]
Well if it was any other man I'd put him straight away[00:01:00]
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way[00:01:09]
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood[00:01:17]
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played[00:01:26]
Night of the Johnstown Flood[00:01:32]
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would[00:01:36]
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good[00:01:46]
Well Franky went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment[00:01:55]
Settled down took Maria for my wife[00:02:08]
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed[00:02:13]
Franky came home in '68 and me I took this job[00:02:23]
Yea we're laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood[00:02:31]
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played[00:02:40]
Night of the Johnstown Flood[00:02:46]
I catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that line[00:02:50]
Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine[00:03:00]
Well the night was like any other I got a call 'bout quarter to nine[00:03:18]
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line[00:03:27]
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad[00:03:36]
Bleedin' hard from his head[00:03:41]
There was a girl cryin' at a table and it was Frank they said[00:03:45]
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights[00:03:54]
Well I must of done one hundred and ten[00:04:03]
Through Michigan county that night[00:04:08]
It was out at the crossroads down round Willow bank[00:04:12]
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank[00:04:22]
Well I chased him through them county roads[00:04:31]
Till a sign said Canadian border five miles from here[00:04:35]
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear[00:04:41]
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin'[00:04:50]
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood[00:04:54]
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played[00:04:59]
Night of the Johnstown Flood[00:05:04]
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would[00:05:08]
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good[00:05:18]
