Cowboy Junkies Picture
The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Brothers Under The Bridge Lyrics

Cowboy Junkies

[bruce Springsteen Cover]

Saigon, It Was All Gone
The Same Coke Machines As The Streets I Grew On
Down A Mesquite Canyon We Come Walking Along The Ridge
Me And The Brothers Under The Bridge

Campsite's An Hour's Walk From The Nearest Road To Town
Up Here There's Too Much Brush And Canyon For The Chp Choppers To Touch Down
Ain't Lookin' For Nothin', Just Wanna Live
Me And The Brothers Under The Bridge

Come The Santa Ana's, Man, That Dry Brush'll Light
Billy Devon Got Burned Up In His Own Campfire One Winter Night
We Buried His Body In The White Stone High Up Along The Ridge
Me And The Brothers Under The Bridge

Had Enough Of Town And The Street Life
Over Nothing You End Up On The Wrong End Of Someone's Knife
Now I Don't Want No Trouble And I Ain't Got None To Give
Me And The Brothers Under The Bridge

I Come Home In '72
You Were Just A Beautiful Light In Your Mama's Dark Eyes Of Blue
I Stood Down On The Tarmac, I Was Just A Kid
Me And The Brothers Under The Bridge

Come Veteran's Day I Sat In The Stands In My Dress Blues
I Held Your Mother's Hand When They Passed With The Red, White And Blue
One Minute You're Right There . . . Then Something Slips . . .
