Burn Down The Bridge Lyrics

I'm running from my demons…clearing out my head
Thinking ‘bout the things I've learnt...in all the books I've read
But there's a man with another plan…working on my brain
He wants to keep the pressure on and tie me down in chains

(Now I know…where I'm going... gotta find my way to you…will you wait)

I don't wanna do this…wanna leave it all behind
Get out before they try to do…something with my mind
They've taken all my money…took me for a ride
Sold me down the river and they cut me deep inside

Burn down the bridge…what yer gonna do
Burn down the bridge…it's up to you
Burn down the bridge…let me hear you say
Burn down the bridge…make a better day…Burn down the bridge

Gotta get my freedom…a chance to walk away
Find someone who'll listen…to what I have to say
Hit the ground running…Faster than a train
Over to the other side and don't go back again

There's a flickering light that beckons to me…Offering hope and sanctuary
I'll close down the past…Sleep well in my bed
Get on with the future and move straight ahead

Burn down the bridge…what yer gonna do
Burn down the bridge…it's up to you
Burn down the bridge…let me hear you say
Burn down the bridge…make a better day…Burn down the bridge

Don't let ‘em take me back again…don't let ‘em get to me
I'm driving like a crazy man to set my body free
Open up the highway…and gimme back my life
Take these ties that bind me down and cut ‘em with a knife

Burn down the bridge…(etc)
