Water and bridges

I was young, so was she
Life didn't stay a mystery for very long
We could do no wrong
Then she called, said she was late.
So we took a little drive upstate an' took care of that
Yeah, just took care of that.

But now I'm lookin' back at some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living
With water and bridges.

Now my old man, he had it rough
'Cause like his Daddy, when he drank too much
He'd get mean, an' take it out on me
So with angry words, I was gone
I never even tried to go back home, the night he died
Momma said he apologized.

Now I'm longin' back on some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living
With water and bridges.

We could all go crazy from
Things that only time can dull
I guess that's why everyone is given
Water and bridges.

Water and bridges.
Water and bridges...
