Artist: Amy Rigby Album: Middlescence (1998) Title: Dirty Bridge
Lyrics Dirty BridgeI’m getting tired of this island life
Being a native doesn't feel so nice
When you can't take off your shoes
All of these worried faces get me down
Look in the mirror, there's another frown
And it's time to break the news
I don't know how to say goodbye
This isn't easy but I'll try
Every day I pack another box
Then I take a walk down to the rocks
And look west at the place I know the best
And that bridge I hate to cross
Dirty Bridge
All of this water flowing to the sea
It doesn't have a thing to do with me
And I've got no peace of mind
Ole dirty bridge that goes from here to there
It isn't gonna get me anywhere
Till I’m leaving it behind
Every day I pack another box
Then I take a walk down to the rocks
And look west at the place I know the best
And that bridge I hate to cross
