| This is the word about a lovers plan
|
| to build a promise with his bare hands
|
| He left the beauty of his woman,
|
| to tell the story of a man
|
| But now she’s in the valley of another’s charm
|
| Jumped from cloud 9 into another’s arms
|
| I heard him asking what can a young boy do,
|
| So to a man I told the truth
|
| I said young man…
|
| I would go and build a bridge
|
| under her but over him
|
| Then when the valley gets cold again
|
| She can always cross your bridge
|
| If and when she comes to it
|
| Confusion kicked him like a gun,
|
| fired from her tongue
|
| The hammer swung a bullet through his back
|
| but it hurt more in the front
|
| Now baby’s puppy love is dog gone
|
| On his way home his lady moved on
|
| Then, to a friend, he asked what to do
|
| Then, to a man, I told the truth
|
| I said over the valley…
|
| Don’t go and cry yourself a river
|
| Your heavy heart will sink you down
|
| And if you think you just can’t forgive her
|
| Than, to a man, I’ll show you how… |
