(Written by Deana Carter & Matraca Berg)


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
Wellif I had the timeif 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 somethingI just have to find a way
Before you cross that riverbefore I see your face
Cause I can see you 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 priceI 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
Dickson County
