Lyrics Highway Patrolman - Johnny Cash
My
name
is
Joe
Roberts
I
work
for
the
State
I'm
a
sergeant
out
on
Perenville
Barracks
number
eight
I've
always
done
an
honest
job
Honest
as
I
could
Got
a
brother
named
Frankie
Frankie
ain't
no
good
And
ever
since
we
were
young
kids
It's
been
the
same
come
down
I'd
get
a
call
on
a
short
way
Frankie's
in
trouble
downtown
But
if
it
was
any
other
man
I'd
put
him
straight
away
But
sometimes
when
it's
your
brother
You
look
the
other
way
Yeah,
me
and
Frankie
laughin'
and
drinkin'
Nothin'
feels
better
than
blood
on
blood
Takin'
turns
dancin'
with
Maria
While
the
band
played
"The
Night
of
the
Johnstown
Flood"
I
catch
him
when
he's
strayin'
Like
any
brother
should
Man
turns
his
back
on
his
family
He
ain't
no
good
Well,
Frankie
went
into
the
army
Back
in
1965
I
got
a
farm
deferment
Settled
down,
took
Maria
for
my
wife
But
them
wheat
prices
kept
on
droppin'
'Til
it
was
like
we's
gettin'
robbed
Frankie
came
home
in
'68
Me,
I
took
this
job
Yeah,
me
and
Frankie
laughin'
and
drinkin'
Nothin'
feels
better
than
blood
on
blood
Takin'
turns
dancin'
with
Maria
While
the
band
played
"The
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
Ain't
no
friend
of
mine
The
night
was
like
any
other
I
got
a
call
'bout
a
quarter
to
nine
There
was
trouble
at
a
roadhouse
Out
on
the
Michigan
line
There
was
a
kid
on
the
floor
lookin'
bad
Bleedin'
hard
from
his
head
There
was
a
girl
cryin'
at
a
table
It
was
Frankie,
she
said
I
ran
out
and
I
jumped
in
my
car
Then
I
hit
the
lights
I
must
have
done
about
a
hundred
and
ten
Through
Michigan
County
that
night
It
was
down
by
the
crossroads
Out
'bout
willow
bank
Seen
the
Buick
with
Ohio
plates
Behind
the
wheel
was
Frank
Well,
I
chased
him
through
them
county
roads
'Til
the
sign
said,
"Canadian
border
five
miles
from
here"
Pulled
over
to
the
south
out
the
highway
Watched
the
taillights
disappear
Yeah,
me
and
Frankie
laughin'
and
drinkin'
Nothin'
feels
better
than
blood
on
blood
Takin'
turns
dancin'
with
Maria
While
the
band
played
"The
Night
of
the
Johnstown
Flood"
I
catch
him
when
he's
strayin'
Like
any
brother
should
Man
turns
his
back
on
his
family
He
ain't
no
good
