Bring Change 03:38
lyrics

Lookin’ at a poster down at the general store They are takin’ names they said they have room for just one more It’s dangerous work so they say I ain’t got no choice we got so many bills to pay I won’t need my rowboat no more Build a span going here from shore to shore In days to come they will sing our praise And no one will remember these rowboat days Refresh This old town And bring some change around Refresh This old town And bring some change around I’m gonna shake a leg and get myself back home And tell my friends and my kin just what I know I never thought that we would live to see the day Funny how fast time goes, it’s just slippin’ away Refresh This old town And bring some change around Refresh This old town And bring some change around Refresh This old town And bring some change around Refresh This old town And bring some change around Refresh This old town And bring some change around

I drive a old Bronco, ‘73 A finer truck you’ll never see It’s got no roof, it’s just out in the wind They tell me I should trade it in But it’s a fine old ride, and it’s just like me Lacks a certain sensibility They don’t know, they can’t see That old truck is just like me I got a old dog and it sleeps on the floor And it walks outside and it sleeps some more It don’t wanna leave, it keeps hangin’ around Maybe I should put him down But he’s my find old friend and he’s just like me Lacks a certain sensibility Someday that dog gonna be set free Oh yeah, just like me Well there’s a old bridge in my hometown They say they wanna tear it down When I go home I go outta my way I drive that bridge over Sturgeon Bay ‘Cause it’s a fine old bridge, it’s just like me Lacks a certain sensibility I just wish that they could see That old bridge is just like me That old bridge is just like you and me

He Walked On The Water 02:41
lyrics
buy track
He walked on the water We sink or swim He didn’t need no stinkin’ bridges We’re not as lucky as him But look what happened to him The past and the future Square off in the here and now Progress, history, oughta call it a draw Bridge the gap somehow You’d think with all these bridges We could get across With all the signposts up ahead We wouldn’t be lost Now I need a bridge Of another kind Perhaps a metaphor to rhythm Somethin’ in steel, span in time He parted the water Well, him and his God They didn’t need no stinkin’ bridges With that divinin’ rod The past and the future Square off in the here and now Progress, history, oughta call it a draw Bridge the gap somehow

Hey Steel Bridge 03:04

Hey steel bridge How are ya holdin’ up Over the water That I sail down I see your high beams Slowly rusting But soon the paint trucks will come around And the wheels keep rolling Over your trestle I’d like to thank you For letting through my vessel Hey steel bridge Grey as the rainy sky How many tons What was the cost How many stories Have you witnessed How many stories Have become lost Don’t, don’t you feel like you’re taken for granted Standing like Atlas Cemented in the mud You do a job here And that job ain’t done Hey steel bridge I gotta keep movin’ on I ride across you Sometime, someday I know you’ll be here There’s people that do care If you hold up, we’ll all keep rollin’ on If you hold up, we’ll all keep rollin’ on

You’ve got me deep in all the chaos I create Waves are crashin’, reshapin’ the shore I’ll never give myself the chance to hesitate Because your solid embrace I can not ignore Rise up Every hour Don’t stop I’m feelin’ your power The time for loving me is now Just connect your heart and I’ll show you how Stormy shadows over we Drop the anchor steadily Seeking shelter underneath What an architect will live and breathe Stream of pavement, bones of steel, tell me now just how to feel And every time I hear the sound of thunder it becomes the real deal Go drip on water I’ll be coastin’ above way up high In the sky you might think I can fly It’s just the beauty of livin’ life at ease So put down your words and consider please And just rise up Every hour Don’t stop Bathe in the power The time to love yourself is now Just connect your heart and I’ll show you how Stormy shadows over we Drop the anchor steadily Seeking shelter underneath What an architect will live and breathe Stream of pavement, bones of steel, tell me now just how to feel And every time I hear the sound of thunder it becomes the real deal Stormy shadows over we Drop the anchor steadily Seeking shelter underneath What an architect will live and breathe Stream of pavement, bones of steel, tell me now just how to feel And every time I hear the sound of thunder it becomes the real deal

Yeah that steel bridge has got me here And here is where I am now Might not be exactly where I wanna be Things should work out anyhow Two long hard years have passed me by They really hollowed out my head I can thank myself for bein’ here But I’d rather thank the bridge instead Well I guess I could try to explain it But I’m not so sure that I should Yeah I guess I could try to explain it But I really don’t know if it would do any good Yeah that steel bridge has got me here Here is where I am now

Steel Bridge Song 03:20
lyrics

A fire ahead, a fire behind and cool cool water runnin down below A feeling so real, a bridge made of steel that i can cross over, whichever way i must go Memories and anticipation it's all a little fuzzy it all goes by so fast Memories and anticipation maybe nothin stands forever but it seems these beams were meant to last This bridge won't burn though with every heartache in defiance i have tried This bridge won't burn even when there's nothin but fire on either side A fire ahead, a fire behind and cool cool water runnin down below A feeling so real, a bridge made of steel that i can cross over, whichever way i must go This bridge won't burn though with every heartache in defiance i have tried This bridge won't burn even when there's nothin nothin but fire on either side

Steel Yourself 05:40

Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself for the comin’ storm Steel yourself ‘cause it won’t be long Steel yourself in the things you do Steel yourself and you might get through Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself They teach you when you’re just a kid To sell yourself at the highest bid Just as long as you get your price The job you hate and the wife that’s nice Steel yourself Steel yourself Not small enough to steal this book But you’re cool enough to steal that look You can’t steal enough to fill the fridge Are you bad enough to steal this bridge (Take it to the bridge) Steel yourself like a railroad track Like a tin roof on a shotgun shack Steel yourself for the long slow ride And we’ll all get together on the other side Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself for the comin’ storm Steel yourself ‘cause it won’t be long Steel yourself for the lone dark rider Armageddon and the great decider Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself Steel yourself
