Over the Bridge

[Verse] There’s an old wooden bridge down by Willow Creek, Where the water runs slow, and the cattle seek, Shade from the sun on a lazy afternoon, Granddaddy says it’ll all be gone soon. [Verse 2] Mama grew up just across that stream, Running through fields, chasing her dreams, Now the town’s much quieter, and so am I, Just listen to the wind, and the lonesome sigh. [Chorus] Over the bridge, where the wildflowers grow, Past the fence line, where only we know, A piece of heaven on this hard old ground, Over the bridge, where peace can be found. [Verse 3] Swinging from the rope, we used to dive, Laughing and living, feeling so alive, Evenings would whisper secrets ‘cross the shore, Now it’s just a memory, nothing more. [Chorus] Over the bridge, where the wildflowers grow, Past the fence line, where only we know, A piece of heaven on this hard old ground, Over the bridge, where peace can be found. [Bridge] Someday I'll bring my own kids by, Show ‘em the place where dreams can fly, Tell ‘em 'bout times when life was sweet, Over the bridge, on Willow Street.
