lyrics

She was only twenty-two years old
with eyes of fire and hair of gold
a look from her could melt your soul
and turn the summer cold
he'd just quit that awful job down south
the taste of it still thick in his mouth
he'd been thinkin' about leavin' this town
'cause there was nowhere left to go here but down and out
they both knew there was nothing they could do
they were bound to crash and burn before it's through
neither of them cared
they would both eventually get there
they'd burn that bridge
when they came to it
so he took to her like moths to a flame
it seemed to him that she might feel the same
so they started makin' plans and choosin' names
for the things that they would build and the life they would claim
he got himself an honest steady job
mixin' bands down at the local honky-tonk
the money came in slow
but they both seemed to know
it would be enough
they both knew there was nothing they could do
they were bound to crash and burn before it's through
neither of them cared
they would both eventually get there
they'd burn that bridge
when they came to it
