Kenny Rogers - Water and Bridges Lyrics

I was young, so was she
Life didn't stay a mystery
For very long
We could do no wrong

When she called, said she was late
So we took a little drive upstate
And took care of that
Yeah, just took care of that

But now I'm lookin' back at some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living with water & bridges

Now my old man, he had it rough
'Cause like his daddy when he drank too much
He'd get mean
And take it out on me

So with angry words, I was gone
I never even tried to go back home
The night he died
Momma said he apologized

Now I'm lookin' back on some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living with water & bridges

We could all go crazy from
Things that only time can dull
I guess, that's why everyone is given
Water & bridges, water & bridges
Water & bridges
