Old Bridges Burn Slow
Billy Joe Royal
Old Bridges Burn Slow:Billy Joe Royal. #11 on BB Hot Country on ATLANTIC Records in 1987. INTRO: #1. Here we go round a-gain masquerading as long lost friends cause a memory never dies it kinda fades into a lie and what do you know? CHORUS: Still waters run deep old bridges burn slow. Still waters run deep now baby old bridges burn slow. #2. Let’s chalk it all up to our youth that’s one way to hide from the truth. I never asked you for a thing and if I had you would have told me so. CHORUS: Still waters run deep old bridges burn slow. Still waters run deep now baby old bridges burn slow. BRIDGE: But how many years did I chase after you all my mind would allow. But now I can’t break off the past and even if I knew how. (Ahhhh I wouldn’t tell it to you baby.) INTERLUDE: #3. So why don’t we call it a day I got nothing else left to say cause a dream we both dreamt Was just a last ditch attempt to stop the flow. CHORUS: Still waters run deep old bridges burn slow. Still waters run deep now baby old bridges burn slow. OUTRO: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-don’t you know they burn slow. In a way I know and I know don’t you know they burn slow. Still waters run deep old bridges burn slow. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..how they burn.. don’t ya know they burn slow..(Fade.) An eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
