All alone in a big bad world
don't make no sense any more
telephones and working girls
and jokers lying on the floor
Give me half an hour
give me one time a day
just can't seem to catch my breath
give me blues power give me yippee-yi-yay
just get me out of this mess
I'm burning bridges
little girl we've got to move
burning bridges
I got nothin'left to lose
just open your eyes
open the door
I don't want to run any more
Every day and every way
one more fool goes down
but I don't care
I don't want to play
I don't want to be around
I'm burning bridges
meet me down at the same old place
burning bridges
I see questions in your eyes
open the door
I don't want to run any more
I don't want to be the one
to lie broken on the street
I gotta do it if I want it done
got to get up on my feet - hey!
I'm burning bridges
