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 longin' 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.
