about

This is a bit of a fast balls-to-the-wall banjo-driven song about the very human tendency to not really learn from mistakes and to just leg it (northern term for 'run'!) when things get rough.

lyrics

Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Don’t you look behind you boy, don’t you ever learn?
Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?

You know that someone saw you boy, no hiding what you done
Break your mama’s heart again boy always on the run
Run into the city boy, run into the hills
Running round in circles boy, you know you always will

Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Don’t you look behind you boy, don’t you ever learn?
Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?

You’ve always been a rolling stone boy, never staying still
You go in for the battle scar, but never for the kill
When’d you stop believing boy, when’d you lose the fight?
Can’t turn back the clock now boy go back and make it right

Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Don’t you look behind you boy, don’t you ever learn?
Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?

Oooo….

The storm is coming, can you hear the distant thunder?
And the tide is swelling and it’s gonna drag you under
You thought that you could hide it boy, take them for a ride
But the truth will come out in the wash with the turning of the tide

Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Don’t you look behind you boy, don’t you ever learn?
Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?

Mama always said that there’s no smoke without the fire
And in your rear-view mirror boy the flames are getting higher
Why’d you strike the matches boy, why’d you light the fuse?
Freedom doesn’t have to just mean nothing left to lose

Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Don’t you look behind you boy, don’t you ever learn?
Oh oh watch your bridges burn
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?

Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?
Didn’t your mama tell you boy, the tide will turn?
Oh….
