Song Description

Twenty four years of building bridges; twenty four hours to burn them down.

Lyrics

Mama says I was her favorite
Papa's proud of his new son
Try so hard to make them love me
Try so hard to be the one

But today I woke up hurting
I never did make it inside
In the back seat of my ride
Empty bottles all around me
Gotta get out now and hide

24 years of building bridges
24 hours to burn them down
What would you say if you could reach me my friend
Before I headed out of town

Papa, I'm not gonna tell you
What I did to make me go
Mama, go back to the kitchen
I admit, you told me so

24 years of building bridges
24 hours to burn them down
What would you say if you could reach me
Before I headed out of town

Stop the phone calls
Stop the fear
Stop the paper and get
Out of here
Shut the lights off
Let me go
Start the car
Hit the road

Mama says I was her favorite
Papa's proud of his new son
If only the two could see me now
All alone and on the run

24 years of building bridges
24 hours to burn them down
What would you say if you could reach me my friend
Now that I've headed out of town
Now that I've headed out of town
Now that I've headed out of town
