I was young and so was she

Love didn't stay a mystery for very long

We could do no wrong

Then she called to say

She was late

So we took a little drive upstate

And took care of that

Yeah, we just took care of that



Now I'm looking 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



My old man

He had it rough

Cause like his daddy

When he drank too much

He'd get mean

And take it out on me

So with angry words

I was gone

And I never even tried to come back home

The night he died

Momma said he apologized



Now I'm looking 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

The things that only time can numb

I guess that's why everyone is given

Water and bridges

Water and bridges
