Eric D. Johnson - Burning Bridges For Fuel lyrics

As I ride on these rails That's my life Laying rail as I ride Through this unenchanted wildwood There be dogs There be dust in my eyes [Chorus:] And oh, God knows I can drive But I don't make the rules I'm still burning bridges for fuel From the ashes of those fires There'll be heat There'll be work to be done There'll be new stars illuminating My laying rails For my daughters and son [Chorus] You've got to lose to need it You've got to hurt to feel it Let it go like a balloon You've got to face the morning You've got to heed the warning Better get yourself to school Or it's over So I ride on these rails That's my life And I'm doing it slow 'Cause to move into a cabin With a gun Is not the right thing to do [Chorus] For fuel For fuel For fuel
