Water And Bridges

Kenny Rogers

Composed by: Craig Wiseman/Tim Nichols
I was young, so was she 
Life didn't stay a mystery for very long 
We could do no wrong 
Then she called, said she was late. 
So we took a little drive upstate an' took care of that 
Yeah, just took care of that. 

But now I'm lookin' back at some of my decisions 
Now that it's much too late to change 
How a father could have held his son 
If I could undo what's been done 
But I guess everyone is living 
With water and bridges. 

Now my old man, he had it rough 
'Cause like his Daddy, when he drank too much 
He'd get mean, an' take it out on me 
So with angry words, I was gone 
I never even tried to go back home, the night he died 
Momma said he apologized. 

Now I'm longin' back on some of my decisions 
Now that it's much too late to change 
How a father could have held his son 
If I could undo what's been done 
But I guess everyone is living 
With water and bridges. 

--- Instrumental --- 

We could all go crazy from 
Things that only time can dull 
I guess that's why everyone is given 
Water and bridges. 

Water and bridges. 
Water and bridges... 

--- Instrumental to fade ---
