Garth Brooks - Burning Bridges lyrics

Yesterday she thanked me For oilin' 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 And i'll never know the reason Why i always run away. (chorus) Burning bridges one by one What i'm doin' can't be undone And i'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' around But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down. Last night we talked of old times Families and home towns Whe wondered if we'd both agree On where we'd settle down And i told her that we'd cross that bridge Whenever it arrived Now through the flames i see her Standin' on the other side *chorus* Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow Knowing that the day My lesson's 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. *chorus* Another bridge goes down
