lyrics

I saw you out on the edge of town, baby
Lookin’ cross on the other side
Somethin’s got yo full attention
You think he’s got a better ride
I can’t cross this bridge again, baby
I’m a man and I got pride

I’ve been waiting here all winter
I’m hot and tired up in these clothes
Going to wait for you all summer
Missing you like no one knows
I won’t cross that bridge for you, baby
Looks like we’re on two different roads

Well, I’m not getting into trouble
I’m not staying up all night
I’m drunk up and I’m seeing double
Don’t have it in me to fight
Are you the devil - I asked around nobody say

Oooh - it’s just that way

So where you going now, sugar
I’ve got a mind to lose my mind
Well, I haven’t seen you in so long, darlin’
Can’t bear the passing of time
I’m not crossing that bridge again, baby
Don’t even know if you’re alive

I’m the town’s biggest fool
Wastin’ all of my years
Town won’t see my pain, no
‘Cause the rain will hide my tears
Crossing this bridge no mo’
Done all I can to make you stay

Oooh - it’s just that way
Oooh - it’s just that way

I’m crossing this bridge again
In this cold rain all alone
I got stuck here in the middle
Shakin’ soaked down to the bone
Hear me when I say
Oooh - it’s just that way
Oooh - it’s just that way
Oooh - it’s just that way
