Don’t Burn Down the Bridge Songtext
von Otis Rush

You said you was leavin′
You was goin' down a one way street
You said you was gonna lock all of the doors
And you was gonna throw away the key

Oh, but don′t burn down the bridge, babe
You just might wanna come back
Well now, the grass ain't no greener
On that other side of the track

All of your so called friends
They learned you how to cheat an' lie
Look like you gonna jump from the fryin′ pan
Into the fire


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

You counted me out, before I could get to the bat
Oh today I′m gonna buy my Chevrolet
Tomorrow I might be drivin' a Cadillac

Oh, but don′t burn down the bridge, babe
You just might wanna come back
Well now, the grass ain't no greener
On that other side of the track

All of your so called friends
They learned you how to cheat an′ lie
Look like you gonna jump from the fryin' pan
Right over into the fire

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