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
