about

Sometimes you need to just up and sever ties from toxic situations...if a bridge burns, so be it...let the glow light your path....

lyrics

Jenny works a bar in her one horse town
Tryin’ to get by on the wage she knocks down
For a while she was doing alright
But it all went south the other night
Boss started moving in
The tension chilled her skin
He ignored her rebuff
She’s finally had enough
And now it’s time to take her chances
To free herself from his advances

Even though you feel you might be jumping the gun
Sometimes it’s best to cut your losses and run
And may the glow from the bridges you burn
Light your way
Let it light your way

Robbie’s at the gas station just down the street
He’s workin’ the pumps despite the withering heat
Not many full service joints like this anymore
But he’s not real certain just what he stays here for
He’s in love with Jenny and he’d love to get out of this place
Afraid to make a change, to take a leap of faith
Don’t wanna be stuck here forever
He finally says it’s now or never

Even though you feel you might be jumping the gun
Sometimes it’s best to cut your losses and run
And may the glow from the bridges you burn
Light your way
Let it light your way

For Jenny and Robbie there was no other choice
They had to make their own way, find their own voice
They had to cut those ties, to really feel alive
Before despair became their eternal anthem

B-3 solo

Even though you feel you might be jumping the gun
Sometimes it’s best to cut your losses and run
And may the glow from the bridges you burn
Light your way
Let it light your way
