She was a small town girl
Got lost in a big old world
Left her mama cryin' on the porch
Her daddy wonderin' what she was leavin' for
Now she dreams of goin' back
To a time and a place in her past
But the distance seems too far
Down a highway paved with broken hearts
Old bridges are hard to cross
They're seldom found when you get lost
You best not burn 'em as you leave
On the way back home you'll need
Old bridges
He Sits alone in the pourin' rain
Nothin' to ease the pain
Lookin' at the angel tracks
Fightin' with the devil on his back
He's wishin' that he knew now
How to turn this hell around
But the river run too deep
And heaven knows just what he needs
Old bridges are hard to cross
They're seldom found when you get lost
You best not burn 'em as you leave
On the way back home you'll need
Old bridges
It's easy not to see
That sometimes all we need, are
Old bridges
There to cross
To lead us home when we get lost
Best not burn 'em as you leave
On the way back home you'll need
Old bridges
