Lyrics
BRIDGE 51
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
I’m riding just for the sake of today
I’ve seen some trouble along the way
Some people give up the journey too soon
Old roots can make a new flower bloom
On Bridge 51 there is a long way to fall
On Bridge 51 I’ll steer away from the siren’s call
I’m so glad I’ve got you to show me the way
Without you I’d probably lose my way
New highways will always be where we belong
It’s wide open, just like we’re twenty-one
On Bridge 51 there is a long way to fall
On Bridge 51 I’ll steer away from the setting sun
Bridge 51 I can see further than where I’ve gone
Bridge 51 I’m rolling over the horizon
