[00:05.81] |
Saigon, it was all gone |
[00:15.44] |
The same Coke machines |
[00:20.38] |
As the streets I grew on |
[00:26.69] |
Down in a mesquite canyon |
[00:30.69] |
We come walking along the ridge |
[00:36.87] |
Me and the brothers under the bridge |
[00:48.19] |
Campsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road to town |
[00:57.25] |
Up here there's too much brush and canyon |
[01:01.87] |
For the CHP choppers to touch down |
[01:09.13] |
Ain't lookin' for nothin', just wanna live |
[01:19.32] |
Me and the brothers under the bridge |
[01:30.32] |
Come the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll light |
[01:40.25] |
Billy Devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night |
[01:51.50] |
We buried his body in the white stone high up along the ridge |
[02:01.75] |
Me and the brothers under the bridge |
[02:12.74] |
Had enough of town and the street life |
[02:22.93] |
Over nothing you end up on the wrong end of someone's knife |
[02:33.88] |
Now I don't want no trouble |
[02:38.68] |
And I ain't got none to give |
[02:44.43] |
Me and the brothers under the bridge |
[02:55.81] |
I come home in '72 |
[03:05.18] |
You were just a beautiul light |
[03:10.37] |
In your mama's dark eyes of blue |
[03:16.74] |
I stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kid |
[03:27.12] |
Me and the brothers under the bridge |
[03:38.06] |
Come Veterans' Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues |
[03:48.05] |
I held your mother's hand |
[03:52.24] |
When they passed with the red, white and blue |
[03:58.62] |
One minute you're right there ... and something slips... |
