Burn That Bridge
[Verse]
Well, my friend had a best friend named Jim Beam
Now, ol' Jim's got a reputation for killin' dreams
My friend paid with his job and a real good wife
It took God and 12 steps till he finally saw the light
(Chorus)
He threw a match
Burned that bridge
Flames shot high, touched the sky till there was nothing left of it
When the ashes kissed the water
He was proud of what he did
Yeah, threw a match
And burned that bridge
[Verse]
Gwen tossed her graduation cap to the moon
Flipped a finger to the mean girls that day in June
Now her Silicone Valley plate spells out "REVENGE"
As her reunion invitation flies outta her Benz
(Chorus)
She threw a match
Burned that bridge
Flames shot high, touched the sky...there was nothing left of it
When the ashes kissed the water,
She was proud of what she did
Yeah, threw a match
And burned that bridge
(Short instrumental)
[Bridge]
When it's time to put the past in the past
Gotta run straight toward tomorrow and never look back
[Chorus]
Throw a match
Burn that bridge
Till the flames shoot high, touch the sky and there's nothing left of it
When the ashes kiss the water
Smile at what you did
Yeah, throw a match
And burn that bridge
(Outro)
Ohhh, throw a match
And burn that bridge
