Wrote by: Bruce SpringsteenSaigon, it was all goneThe same Coke machines as the streets I grew onDown a mesquite canyon we come walking along the ridgeMe and the brothers under the bridgeCampsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road to townUp here there's too much brush and canyon for the CHP choppers to touch downAin't lookin' for nothin', just wanna liveMe and the brothers under the bridgeCome the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll lightBilly Devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter nightWe buried his body in the white stone high up along the ridgeMe and the brothers under the bridgeHad enough of town and the street lifeOver nothing you end up on the wrong end of someone's knifeNow I don't want no trouble and I ain't got none to giveMe and the brothers under the bridgeI come home in '72You were just a beautiful light in your mama's dark eyes of blueI stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kidMe and the brothers under the bridgeCome Veteran's Day I sat in the stands in my dress bluesI held your mother's hand when they passed with the red, white and blueOne minute you're right there . . . then something slips . . .
