highway patrolman

my name is joe roberts i work for the state

i'm a sergeant out of perrineville barracks number 8

i always done an honest job as honest as i could

i got a brother named franky and franky ain't no good

now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down

i get a call on the short wave franky's in trouble downtown

well 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"
