Bridges To Burn

My whole life's been a fight I never learned to win
I never was the troublin' kind but trouble seemed to fit in
In Honky Tonks, Smokey Bars and VFW's
Jammin' Haggard and Hank, Waylon and Jones, ain't something most kids would do
They tell me that I'm still young with a lot a life to go
But this outlaw style grabbed ahold of me when I was just 14 years old

So I stand up here on this stage, spotlight it keeps me blinded
I tell 'em all that I'm okay but inside I know I'm lying
So many lessons in life that you never wanna learn
But my mind is set, I ain't dead yet
I got a lot more bridges to burn

It's got me drinking from the bottle, taught me how to sin
They said keep falling down this path and your life is bound to end
So I sit here and sing my songs, Jack flowing through my veins
I'm smokin' from the left hand tryna make my Country name
The city streets full a lot of sharks that'll try to do you in
They tell ya what you wanna hear right now but I'm sure it'll change again

So I stand up here on this stage, spotlight it keeps me blinded
I tell 'em all that I'm okay but inside I know I'm lying
So many lessons in life that you never wanna learn
But my mind is set, I ain't dead yet
I got a lot more bridges to burn, yeah

This guitar is the life of me and we've taken some wrong turns
It's just the price I pay for the lessons that I learned
Granddaddy's blood in me's what makes me so damn stern
I got a lot more bridges to burn
