Highway Patrolman Bruce Springsteen

[Verse 1]
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 Frankie
And Frankie ain't no good

[Verse 2]
Now, ever since we was young kids
It's been the same comedown
I get a call on the shortwave
Frankie'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

[Chorus]
Yeah, me and Frankie laughing and drinking
Nothing feels better than blood on blood
Taking turns dancing with Maria
As the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's straying
Like any brother would
A man turns his back on his family
Well, he just ain't no good
