Don't Burn Down The Bridge ('Cause You Might Wanna Come Back Across)

(album: I'll Play The Blues For You - 1972)

Your mind's set on leaving
To a house down a one way street
Say you're gonna lock up all the doors
And throw away the key

Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, darling
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Oh, you counted me out, before I could get to bat
All the things are out-ta the Chevrolet
Tomorrow night be driving a Cadillac

But don't burn down the bridge, darling
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Hey!

All your so called friends
Taught you how to cheat an' lie
Now it seem like you gonna jump
From the frying pan to the fire

Oh, but don't burn down your bridge, darling
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track
