lyrics

I remember that night it's stuck in my head
rolled up in a flag they thought I was dead
cop kicked me awake said "move along son"
with pepper spray and the butt of a gun
I find a bridge in every town
leads me to water so I can drown

Wind chill had frozen the words in my mouth
ain't got enough money to make it south
even I forget my time in the war
trying to stay fed...find a spot on the floor
I find a bridge in every town
leads me to water so I can drown

Bridges up...they don't come down
they tell no secrets....they're honor bound...that way

I read all about them names on the wall
one night I carved mine in a bathroom stall
boots on the ground....head in the sand
oh there I was...here I am
there I was here I am

Got a few more pills some cheap red wine
a hacking cough with me all the time
picture of my girls tattoed on my chest
another life sentence just like the rest
I find a bridge in every town
leads me to water so I can drown

Bridges up...they don't come down
they tell no secrets....they're honor bound...that way
