Burning Bridges

Faron Young · Pen and Paper [Mercury] [1965]

(Walter Scott)



(Burning bridges behind me)

All I want is to forget you somehow.



Found some letters you wrote me this morning

And they told of a love we once knew

Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes

Don't want nothing that reminds me of you.



Burning bridges behind me

It's too late to turn back now

Burning bridges behind me

All I want is to forget you somehow.



Sold the house we once planned together

And said goodbye to folks we once knew

Then I moved to the faraway city

Trying hard to forget about you.



Burning bridges behind me

It's too late to turn back now

Burning bridges behind me

All I want is to forget you somehow...
