Strait George - By The Light Of A Burning Brige lyrics

Oh, I've been stumblin' through the darkness,

Tryin' to feel the ground beneath my feet.

Afraid of movin' much in any direction:

Stuck where the past and the future meet.

But I fin'lly got my first good look:

A little fire was all it too.

An' as the flames grew brighter,

I saw everything that I'd missed.

Once you get your courage up,

You light a match an' your eyes adjust:

It's amazing what a man can see,

By the light of a burnin' bridge.

An' there were things I saw that I'm not proud of.

Things that I'd do diff'rent now from then.

But when I really make myself get honest,

It's over and I can't go back again.

'Cause I fin'lly got my first good look:

A little fire was all it took.

An' as the flames grew brighter,

I saw everything that I'd missed.

Once you get your courage up,

You light a match an' your eyes adjust:

It's amazing what a man can see,

By the light of a burnin' bridge.

It sure is hard to let go and to leave the past behind,

But there ain't no other way that you can find some peace of mind.

When I fin'lly got my first good look:

A little fire was all it took.

An' as the flames grew brighter,

I saw everything that I'd missed.

Once you get your courage up,

You light a match an' your eyes adjust:

It's amazing what a man can see,

By the light of a burnin' bridge.

It's amazing what a man can see,

By the light of a burnin' bridge.
