《Highway Patrolman》歌词

[00:00:00] Highway Patrolman - Johnny Cash

[00:00:08] My name is Joe Roberts I work for the State

[00:00:14] I'm a sergeant out on Perenville barracks No 8

[00:00:24] I've always done an honest job honest as I could

[00:00:31] Got a brother named Frankie Frankie ain't no good

[00:00:41] Ever since we were young kids it's been the same come down

[00:00:48] I'd get a call on a short way Frankie's in trouble downtown

[00:00:57] But if it was any other man I'd put him straight away

[00:01:04] But sometimes when it's your brother you look the other way

[00:01:13] Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood

[00:01:20] Takin' turns dancin' with Maria

[00:01:24] While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood

[00:01:32] I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother should

[00:01:38] Man turns his back on his family he ain't no good

[00:01:48] Well Frankie went into the army back in 1965

[00:01:56] I got a farm deferment settled down took Maria for my wife

[00:02:05] But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we's gettin' robbed

[00:02:12] Frankie came home in '68 and me I took this job

[00:02:21] Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood

[00:02:29] Takin' turns dancin' with Maria

[00:02:32] While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood

[00:02:41] I catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that line

[00:02:48] Man turns his back on his family ain't no friend of mine

[00:03:14] The night was like any other I got a call bout the quarter of nine

[00:03:21] There was trouble at a roadhouse out on the Michigan line

[00:03:28] There was a kid on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head

[00:03:36] There was a girl cryin' at a table it was Frankie she said

[00:03:46] I ran out and I jumped in my car then I hit the lights

[00:03:53] I must have done about a hundred and ten to Michigan County that night

[00:04:02] It was down by the crossroads out bout willow bank

[00:04:09] Seen the buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank

[00:04:19] Well I chased him through them county roads

[00:04:22] Till the sign said Canadian five miles border from here

[00:04:27] Pulled over to the south out the highway watched his taillights disappeared

[00:04:35] Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood

[00:04:42] Takin' turns dancin' with Maria

[00:04:46] While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood

[00:04:55] I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother should

[00:05:02] Man turns his back on his family ain't no good
