under the bridge

i lost my job in saginaw working on the railroad

after twenty years they just put me on the side

now i'm hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat

and nothin' but an empty dream to ride

but under the bridge

i can make believe i'm living in a castle

under the bridge

my baby and me

and i can pretend that i'm a king and this is my kingdom

under the bridge making believe

hey

the doors are always open to any old weary traveler

and you'll find some great grub feedin' here below

any old bridge can be a palace

call it what you want to

it's a place to be when you got no place to go

under the bridge

i can make believe i'm living in a castle

under the bridge

my baby and me

and i can pretend i'm a king

this is my kingdom

under the bridge making believe

hey

under the bridge making believe
