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.
|
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
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.
|
