You said you was leavin' You was goin' down a one way street You said you was gonna lock all of the doors And you was gonna throw away the key Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, babe You just might wanna come back Well now, the grass ain't no greener On that other side of the track All of your so called friends They learned you how to cheat an' lie Look like you gonna jump from the fryin' pan Into the fire Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, babe You just might wanna come back Well, the grass ain't no greener On the other side of the track You counted me out, before I could get to the bat Oh today I'm gonna buy my Chevrolet Tomorrow I might be drivin' a Cadillac Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, babe You just might wanna come back Well now, the grass ain't no greener On that other side of the track All of your so called friends They learned you how to cheat an' lie Look like you gonna jump from the fryin' pan Right over into the fire But don't burn down the bridge, babe You just might wanna come back Well, the grass ain't no greener On the other side of the track
