ONE BRIDGE I DIDN'T BURN
(Jim McBride / Steve Dean)


Conway Twitty - 1989



        

I know how long it's been, so if I can't come in
Then let me just talk to you through the door
I'm a man without a place, lost and lookin' for a trace
Of the warm and tender love we had before

I closed every door behind me, shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long hard road that leads back from the point of no return
And I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn

This river looks so wide standing on the lonely side
And wishing I could be back home again
I'd do anything at all just to find a way across
And to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been

I closed every door behind me, shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long hard road that leads back from the point of no return
And I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
