Matches

Marty Stuart · Let There Be Country [2003]

Written by Keith Stegall and Charlie Craig



Matches, I need some matches



'Cause I've still got one old bridge I need to burn



Teacher, I need a teacher



There's a lesson my hard-headed heart can't seem to learn



Well I told myself I'm the last one left



To never let myself get hurt again



Like the fallen bird, I fell for her



and now I'm right back where I started then, so friend



Could I bum some matches, oh I need some matches



'Cause I've still got one old bridge I need to burn



Well you think by now I would have found



At least one woman who was meant for me



But it's been my luck just to fall in love and wake up to another memory



And another need



For some matches, I need some matches



'Cause I've still got one old bridge I need to burn



Let it burn
