George Strait - By The Light Of A Burning Bridge lyrics

Oh, I've been stumblin' through the darkness, Tryin' to feel the ground beneath my feet. Afraid of movin' much in any direction: Stuck where the past and the future meet. But I fin'lly got my first good look: A little fire was all it too. An' as the flames grew brighter, I saw everything that I'd missed. Once you get your courage up, You light a match an' your eyes adjust: It's amazing what a man can see, By the light of a burnin' bridge. An' there were things I saw that I'm not proud of. Things that I'd do diff'rent now from then. But when I really make myself get honest, It's over and I can't go back again. 'Cause I fin'lly got my first good look: A little fire was all it took. An' as the flames grew brighter, I saw everything that I'd missed. Once you get your courage up, You light a match an' your eyes adjust: It's amazing what a man can see, By the light of a burnin' bridge. Instrumental break. It sure is hard to let go and to leave the past behind, But there ain't no other way that you can find some peace of mind. When I fin'lly got my first good look: A little fire was all it took. An' as the flames grew brighter, I saw everything that I'd missed. Once you get your courage up, You light a match an' your eyes adjust: It's amazing what a man can see, By the light of a burnin' bridge. It's amazing what a man can see, By the light of a burnin' bridge.
