[Verse 1]
D A E
Well, every spring when the weather gets warm
Bm D
They come pouring into town straight off of them farms
A E
Driving 455's running hard and strong
Bm D
They'd scratch built in them tool sheds all winter long
D E
'Neath the, 'neath the trestles drinking the beer and the wine
D E
Now some came to run, some just to pass the time
A E Bm A
With the brothers under the bridges
[Verse 2]
A E
Me and Tommy we was just fourteen, didn't have our licenses yet
Bm D
Our walls were covered with pictures of cars we'd get
A E
We'd listen and wait for that highway to rumble and quake
Bm D
As they drove in through town when the weekend'd break
E
Bringing girls with that distant look in their eyes
D E
Now together 'neath the trestles they'd be laughing in the night
A E Bm A
With the brothers under the bridges
[Bridge]
D A
Well now me and my brother'd hitched a ride in Joey's pickup to the edge of town
D A E
And we watched from the tall grass as the challenges were made and the duels went down
D A
We'd hitchhike back home, sneak in, get in bed before our mom would come
A E
And we'd lay there in the night talking about how we might someday be one, yeah someday run
D A/C# E A
With the brothers under the bridges
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A E Bm D
Well now I hear a cry in the distance and the sound of marching feet come and gone
A E Bm D
Well I'm sitting down here by this highway figuring, figuring just where, where I belong
D E D E
Tonight from up here on Signal Hill I watch a young man in a red shirt walking through a night so still
A E Bm
Put his jacket 'round his girl as the autumn wind sends a chill
A E Bm A
Through the brothers under the bridges

Driving 455s running hard and strong
They'd scratch built in them tool sheds all winter long
'Neath the trestless drinkin' the beer and the wine
Now some came on run, some just to pass the time
