water & bridges

i was young

so was she. life didn't stay a mystery for very long. we could do no wrong. then she called

said she was late. so we took a little drive upstate an' took care of that. yeah

just took care of that. but now i'm longin' back at some of my decisions

now that it's much too late to change. how a father could have held his son. if i could undo what's been done

but i guess everyone is living

with water and bridges. now my old man

he had it rough

'cause like his daddy

when he drank too much

he'd get mean

an' take it out on me. so with angry words

i was gone. i never even tried to go back home

the night he died. momma said he apologized. now i'm longin' back on some of my decisions

now that it's much too late to change. how a father could have held his son. if i could undo what's been done

but i guess everyone is living

with water and bridges. we could all go crazy from

things that only time can dull. i guess that's why everyone is given

water and bridges. water and bridges. water and bridges.
