Dickson County lyrics

I live by the river on the wrong side of town

Nothing much to do here but listen to the sound

Of a train I'll never catch passin' me by

Of the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I cry

So I heard you're comin' 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 your headlights and I can feel the pain

And nothing's gonna save me if I see you again

But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights

I'd be baptized in the ashes come the morning light

And every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight

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 rights

Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
