aoife o'donovan - highway patrolman كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
my name is 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
i got a brother named frankie
frankie ain’t no good

[verse 2]
ever since we was young kids
it’s been the same come down
i get a call from the shortwave
frankie’s in trouble downtown
if it was any other man
i’d look the other way
but when it’s your brother
sometimes you look the other way

[chorus]
yeah, me and frankie laughin’ and drinkin’
nothing is bеtter than blood on blood
takin’ turns dancin’ with maria
as the band played “night of thе johnstown flood”
i catch him when he’s straying
like any brother would
man turns his back on his family
he just ain’t no good
[verse 3]
now frankie joined the army
in 1965
i got a farm deferment
settled down and took maria for my wife, but
but wheat prices kept droppin’
like it was like we were gettin’ robbed
frankie came home in ’68
and me, i got this job

[chorus]
yeah, me and frankie laughin’ and drinkin’
nothing is 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 straying
teach him how to walk the line
man turns his back on his family
he ain’t no friend of mine

[verse 4]
the night was like any other
i got a call about quarter to 9
there was trouble in the roadhouse
down on the michigan line
there was a kid lyin’ on the floor, looking bad
bleedin’ from the head
there was a girl cryin’ at the table
it was frank, they said
[verse 5]
well, i went out and i jumped in the car
and i hit the lights
i must’ve done a hundred and ten
through michigan county that night
it was out at the crossroads
down by willow bank
i seen a buick with ohio plates
behind the wheel was frank
well, i chased him through those country roads
’til a sign said “canadian border five miles from here”
pulled to the side of the highway
and watched those taillights disappear

[chorus]
me and frankie laughin’ and drinkin’
nothing feels better than blood on blood
taking 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

[outro]
what a heavy song
it’s amazing to me that bruce springsteen can write songs
that people turn into entire motion pictures
that song was made into a movie
that story, it’s beautiful
alright, moving along here
