It all went done under the bridge outside of town
We were just celebrating being young
We didn't know that there was more of life to come
Found out what it's really like to come undone
Then in a heartbeat came the flashing red and blue
First ride in a cop car what were we supposed to do
You never really know just how the night's gonna go down
Under the bridge outside of town
I headed out over the bridge outside of town,
And I threw a match over my shoulder
I wanted out so bad the I forgot the good,
And my arms weren't strong enough to hold her
Down and out and at your dignity's expense
Your reality surpasses even all your common sense
Long before you green eyes every brought me back to around
Back over the bridge outside of town
When I came back over the bridge outside of town
It was like stepping back in time
If I expected things the change or be the same
Like leaving home was such a crime
Like the look you get when you walk into a bar
Adjusting to the darkness as they wonder who you are
Find out what it's like to get your feet back on the ground
Back over the Bridge outside of town
Back over the bridge outside of town
