All alone in a big bad world
Don't make no sense any more
Telephones and working girls
And jokers lying on the floor

Give me half an hour
Give me one time a day
Just can't seem to catch my breath
Give me blues power give me yippee-yi-yay
Just get me out of this mess

I'm burning bridges
Little girl we've got to move
Burning bridges
I got nothin' left to lose
Just open your eyes
Open the door
I don't want to run any more

Every day and every way
One more fool goes down
But I don't care
I don't want to play
I don't want to be around

I'm burning bridges
Meet me down at the same old place
Burning bridges
I see questions in your face
But open your eyes,
Open the door
I don't want to run any more

I don't want to be the one
To lie broken on the street
I gotta do it if I want it done
Got to get up on my feet - hey!

I'm burning bridges
Meet me down at the same old place
Burning bridges
I see questions in your face
But open your eyes,
Open the door
I don't want to run any more
