lyrics

Don’tcha don’tcha tear that steel bridge down
You got no reason to steal a piece of this town
Don’tcha don’tcha tear that steel bridge down
You got no right to steal a piece of this town

Headin’ out on a Friday night
Someone’s waitin’ on the other side
Tear it down, can’t see my baby tonight
My baby yeah

Don’tcha don’tcha tear that steel bridge down
You got no reason to steal a piece of this town
Don’tcha don’tcha tear that steel bridge down
You got no right to steal a piece of my town

There are things worth more than gold
Even when they’re boring and old
Tear it down before the whole story is told
Before the story is told

Don’tcha don’tcha tear that steel bridge down
You got no reason to take apart my town
Don’tcha don’tcha tear that steel bridge down
You got no right to take a piece of my town

I have to get across to you
So that new bridge will have to do
They tear it down, they take a piece of me too
Take a piece of me too

Don’tcha tear that old bridge down
Don’tcha tear that old bridge down
Don’tcha tear that old bridge down
Don’tcha tear that old bridge down
Don’tcha tear that old bridge down

Yeah
