You Burned the Bridge - Patty Loveless

You wanted your freedom, well, man look around

Now you’re trapped by her memory and the cold haunting 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 searching your heart for the same

You left her waiting 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
