Burning Bridges - The Mike Curb Congregation

Written by：Lalo Schifrin/Mike Curb/Perry Botkin Jr.

Friends all tried to warn me

But I held my head up high

All the time they warned me

But I only passed them by

They all tried to tell me

But I guess I didn't care

I turned my back and

Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forever more

Joey tried to help me find a job

A while ago

When I finally got it I didn't want to go

The party Mary gave for me

When I just walked away

Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forever more

Years have passed and I keep thinking

What a fool I've been

I look back into the past and

Think of way back then

I know that I lost everything I thought that I

Could win

I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forever more

Burning bridges lost forever more
