Don't Burn Down The Bridge Lyrics - Live At Montreux: Blues At Sunrise - Albert King

Now this tune is all about a girl that's got a good man 

But she gonna leave him, to another, for another slick talkin' dude 

But I advised her not to burn down the bridge 

She might want to come back 

One, two, three, four! 

Your mind's set on leavin' 

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, darlin' 

You just might want to 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 drivin' a Cadillac 

But don't burn down the bridge, darlin' 

You just might want to 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 fryin' pan to the fire 

Oh, but don't burn down your bridge, darlin' 

You just might want to come back 

'Cause the grass ain't no greener 

On the other side of the track 

Hey! Ha! 

Thank you! Woo! 

Thank you very much!
