lyrics

Burning Bridges

Verse 1.
It only takes a few dark clouds,
For me to decide that I’m getting out
Or if there’s a change in the way the wind blows
Then I know that it’s time to go
With just my toothbrush and old guitar
I travel light and I travel far

Chorus
I left one city when I lost my band
They wanted to do it with another man
But soon they all begged me to return
I waved farewell and watched my bridges burn


Verse 2.
I hit the road and it crosses my mind
That there’s a lot of trouble I’ve left behind
All those women out looking for me
To pay for children I’ve never seen
Or the husbands who want my blood
For showing their wives just a little love

Chorus
I left one city on a greyhound bus
Just as one man started to make a fuss
He said you’re a dead man if you ever return
I waved farewell and watched my bridges burn


Chorus
I left one city in an old sports car
After I shut up a big mouth in a backstreet bar
He said he’d friends waiting to meet me if you ever return
I waved farewell and watched my bridges burn

Verse 3.
People wonder why I can’t settle down
And put a few roots into the ground
With a house and a steady trade
To earn my living in a normal way
But I know when trouble crosses my path
I can slip away and never come back

Chorus
I left one city by Amtrak rail
Just as they were gonna throw me in jail
The judge said 10 years if you ever return
I waved farewell and watched my bridges burn
