Garth Brooks – Burning Bridges

Yesterday she thanked me

For oiling that front door

This morning when she wakes

She won't be thankful anymore

She'll never know how much I cared

Just that I couldn't stay

Shell never know the reason why

I always run away

Chorus:

Burning bridges

One by one

What I'm doing

Can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday

I'm gonna stop this running round

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

Last night we talked of old times

Families and home towns

She wondered if we both agree on

Where we'd settle down

And I told her that we'd cross that bridge

Whenever it'd arrive

Now through the flames I see her standin'

On the other side

Chorus:

Burning bridges

One by one

What I'm doing

Can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday

I'm gonna stop this running round

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

Like ashes on the water

I drift away in sorrow

Knowing that the day my lessons finally learned

I'll be standing at a river

Staring out across tomorrow

And the bridge I need to get there

Will be a bridge that I have burned

Burning bridges

One by one

What I'm doing

Can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday

I'm gonna stop this running round

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

Another bridge goes down
