Dickson County

I live by the river on the wrong side of town
Nothing much to do here but listen to the sound
Of the train I'll never catch passing me by
And the muddy water drinking the tears that I cry

So I heard your coming 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 those headlights
And I can feel the pain
And nothings gonna save me
If I see you again

So if i could use this torch I carry
To put it all to right
I'd be baptized in the ashes
Come the morning light

And every bridge in Dickson County
Would be burning down tonight
And 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 right

Every bridge in Dickson County
Would be burning down tonight
