Cross That Bridge

(album: Ain't Complaining - 1988)

I wasn't born in the lap of lux, I didn't have no silver spoon
We all dream 'bout mega bucks like wishing for the moon.
They say money just buys you problems, bigger taxes, jealousy
Big decisions on what to do with it all, that's the kind of problem I need.

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it, I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it, other side of it, greener side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it, 'cos I never wanna go back there.

I thought I'd been in love but it's a feeling I can't trust
'Cos nine times out of nine I find I've been head over heels in lust
Married men say love's nothing but trouble like some kind of terminal disease
They say love's strange, love is blind, love hurts, well that's the kind of trouble I need.

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it, hope I get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around the bend.
I said never, never, never, never, never
Never come back again, no, never come back again.

They say money can't buy you happiness, and that true love never runs smooth
They talk of the trouble and the strife they bring
Well I don't care, 'cos here's what I would do

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it, I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it, other side of it, lovely side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it, 'cos I'd never wanna go back there.
I said never, never, never, never, never
Never come back again, no, never come back again.
