Dickson County

I live by the river on the wrong side of town 
Nothing much to do here but listen to the sound 
Of a train I'll never catch passin' me by 
Of the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I cry 
So I heard you're comin' back with somebody else 
Well, if I had the time, if I had a little help.... 

Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight 
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight 

I have to think of something, I just have to find a way 
Before you cross that river, before I see your face 
'Cause I can see you headlights and I can feel the pain 
And nothing's gonna save me if I see you again 
But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights 
I'd be baptized in the ashes come the morning light 

And Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight 
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight 

I'd pay the price, I'd take the blame 
If I could see it go up in flames 
And if I could use this torch I carry 
To put it all to rights 

Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
