Burning Bridges

She burned that bridge
as she left town
in her beat-up Chevy truck.
She always dreamed
about a new life.
One without her bad luck.
But soon she will find
her own piece of mind.
She's leaving him
and all the pain behind.

Chorus:

The fire is burning bright tonight
and that bridge is far out of sight.
She'll never go back to what she used to be.
He'll never tell her that she is wrong.
He'll never yell and rant and carry on.
She's leaving him and all her misery.
She burned that bridge
and blue skies are all she sees.

When she came home
late from work
and found him drunk again,
She told him she
was leaving him
as he threw his bottle of gin
and grabbed he grabbed her
and broke her arm.
She couldn't take the harm
and she left him
and all that pain behind.

(Chorus X2)

The song playing is Willows On The Water by Enya.
