Broken Bridges

Car door slams, it’s 3AM
This one bridge town is sleeping
Big deep breath, key in ignition
She counts her blessings but they won’t listen
It’s time to let those broken bridges burn

It was just one night, little too much wine
That boy don’t care what he left behind
Mama prays it stays a secret, daddy’s crying “you can’t keep it”
She won’t walk the path they’ve chosen
She won’t fix a bridge that broken

‘Cause there’s one way in
And there’s one way out
And she just can’t stay
In this one bridge town

The whole town’s talkin, pointin at er
It only serves to make her stronger
She’s leavin now, come what
May her child would grow in a better place
Time to let those broken bridges burn

‘Cause there’s one way in
And there’s one way out
And she just can’t stay
In this one bridge town
It’s her only chance
Gotta take it now
Cross the line and burn it down

She parks the car and lights a match
Fills the sky with fire and ash
The guns that point of no return
Let broken bridges burn! Burn!

There’s one way in
And there’s one way out
And she knows she just can’t stay
In this one bridge town

One way in
And there’s one way out
And she just can’t stay
In this one bridge town
It’s her only chance
Gotta take it now
Cross the line and burn it down

One way in
One way out
Just can’t stay
One bridge town
Only chance
Take it now
Cross the line
Burn it down

Car door slams, it’s 3AM
This one bridge town is sleeping
