You Burned The Bridge Lyrics - Mountain Soul Ii - Patty Loveless

You wanted your freedom, well, man look around 

Now you're trapped by her memory and the cold hauntin' sound 

Of your restless heart, she never could take 

Yeah, you burned the bridge and it went down in flames 

Like a whistle blowin' from a fast movin' train 

The words that she said still ring true in your brain 

And you cry Ike a baby at the drop of her name 

Yeah, you burned the bridge and it went down in flames 

Now you sift through the ashes for one piece of hope 

You're searchin' your heart for the same 

But you left her waitin' on the other side for a true love that never came 

Yeah, you burned the bridge and it went down in flames 

Now the smoke rises up from your last cigarette 

And the whiskey goes down like a shot of regret 

'Cause you know that you've lost her and you know who's to blame 

Yeah, you burned the bridge and it went down in flames 

Yeah, you burned the bridge and it went down in flames
