Brothers Under the Bridges (’83)

[Intro]
Come on
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li, yeah
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li

[Verse 1]
Every spring when the weather gets warm
They come pourin' into town straight off of them farms
Driving 455s, runnin' hard and strong
They'd scratch built in them tool sheds all winter long
'Neath the, 'neath the trestles, drinkin' the beer and the wine
Now some came to run, some just to pass the time

[Refrain]
With the brothers under the bridges

[Verse 2]
Me and Tommy, we was just fourteen, didn't have our licenses yet
Our walls were covered with pictures of the cars we'd get
We'd listen and wait for that highway to rumble and quake
As they drove in through town when the weekend'd break
Bringin' girls with that distant look in their eyes
Now together 'neath the trestles, they'd be laughin' in the night

[Refrain]
With the brothers under the bridges

[Bridge]
Well, me and my brother hitched a ride
In Joey's pickup to the edge of town
And we watched from the tall grass
As the challenges were made and the duels went down
We'd hitchhike back home
Sneak in, get in bed 'fore our mom would come
And we'd lay there in the night
Talkin' about how we might
Someday be one
Yeah, someday run

[Refrain]
With the brothers under the bridges (Yeah)

[Saxophone Solo]
A-one two three four

[Verse 3]
Well, now I hear a cry in the distance
And the sound of marchin' feet come and gone
Well, I'm sittin' down here by this highway
Figurin', figurin' just where, where I belong
Tonight from up here on Signal Hill
I watch a young man in a red shirt walkin' through a night so still
Put his jacket 'round his girl as the autumn wind sends a chill

[Refrain]
Through the brothers under the bridges (Hey)

[Outro]
Oh, do it all comin' home
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li, li li li li
