Bruce Springsteen ~ 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 frankie and frankie ain't no good Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down I get a call over the radio 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 Yeah me and frankie laughin' and drinkin' Nothin' feels 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 strayin' like any brother would Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good Well frankie went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment, settled down, took maria for my wife But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' Robbed Frankie came home in `68, and me, i took this job Yeah we're laughin' and drinkin' Nothin' feels 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 strayin' teach him how to walk that line Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine Well the night was like any other, i got a call `bout quarter to nine There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the michigan line There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head There was a girl cry'n' at a table and it was frank, they said Well i went out and i jumped in my car and i hit the lights Well i musta done one hundred and ten through michigan county that night It was out at the crossroads, down `round willow bank Seen a buick with ohio plates. behind the wheel was frank Well i chased him through them county roads Till a sign said "canadian border five miles from here" I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappear Me and frankie laughin' and drinkin' Nothin' feels better than blood on blood Takin' turns dancin' with maria as the band Played "night of the johnstown flood" more free lyrics

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

Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
I get a call over the radio 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

Yeah me and frankie laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels 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 strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good

Well frankie went in the army back in 1965
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin'
Robbed
Frankie came home in `68, and me, i took this job

Yeah we're laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels 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 strayin' teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine

Well the night was like any other, i got a call `bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head
There was a girl cry'n' at a table and it was frank, they said

Well i went out and i jumped in my car and i hit the lights
Well i musta done one hundred and ten through michigan county that night
It was out at the crossroads, down `round willow bank
Seen a buick with ohio plates. behind the wheel was frank

Well i chased him through them county roads
Till a sign said "canadian border five miles from here"
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappear

Me and frankie laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with maria as the band
Played "night of the johnstown flood"

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
