Lyrics

[Chorus] Every bridge that you keep on burnin' Every leaf that you keep on turnin' Every road that you find uncertain Pray for you now Baby that you'll figure it out As you keep Chasing the light [Verse 1] Remember back when you slept on my floor Blowup mattress down by the door 10 pounds heavier from wasted time We didn't know we were way out of line From the moment that you Popped out on the scene Hard to know what you got or you're meant to be Everything that you know goes flying From Jonny O's coach to a gypsy bus island Holding hands with people in life Till they walk away saying no goodbyes And you, keep saying that you're running down a dream But you don't know where it leads As you keep chasing the light [Chorus] Every bridge that you keep on burnin' Every leaf that you keep on turnin' Every road that you find uncertain Pray for you now Baby that you figure it out Every hope and dream that's dyin' Every time that i see you cryin' Every step that you keep on climbin' Pray for you now Baby that you figure it out As you keep Chasing the light [Verse 2] Got the call that you sent out yesterday 40 lines and a fallout holiday On my knees with the weight that was mine Think about you when I'm driving at night Familiar sounds and it takes me right back there Bridge Street and the beat in the summer air Was it easier to wash you feet And never deal with the hell that a young boy sees Where liquor runs thicker than blood On your own when push came to shove Before we had these mouths to feed With innocent dreams… while you keep Chasing the light [Chorus] Every bridge that keep on burnin' Every leaf that you keep on turnin' Every road that you find uncertain Pray for you now Baby that you'll figure it out Every hope and dream that's dyin' Every time that I see you cryin' Every step that you keep on climbin' Pray for you now Baby that you figure it out As you keep Chasing the light [Verse 3] Remember hearing Dylan's first songs first Remember writing down a train wreck verse We were running Franklin High School lights Burning alive in a Chevrolet night Remember driving out to Salton Sea Dreaming 'bout all we thought we'd be One-way tickets into southern lights Slammed the door and said goodbye, goodbye [Chorus] Every bridge that keep on burnin' Every leaf that you keep on turnin' Every road that you find uncertain Pray for you now Baby that you'll figure it out Every hope and dream that's dyin' Every time that I see you cryin' Every step that you keep on climbin' Pray for you now Baby that you figure it out As you keep Chasing the light
