Verse 1 Come to me and cross that bridge, I won’t bite, no need to flinch. If I laugh, well it ain’t cruel .... Just an old reflex from an older fool. I’ve loved folks in all kinds of ways, Been burned a few in my own days. But the planks are steady, the ropes are tight ... C’mon over, friend, it’ll be alright. Ohh Yeah.. Chorus Cross that bridge, take that stride, You don’t have to stay on the other side. Grass ain’t greener, I won’t claim that prize, But there’s room right here and I’ll meet your eyes. Cross that bridge, give me a chance ... Talk a little truth or ramble and dance. Cross that bridge ... .. just come on through… Buy me a beer and I’ll buy you one too. mmm mmmm mmm Verse 2 I ain’t perfect, never will be, But I’ve got time and curiosity. You don’t need polish, you don’t need pride, Just bring yourself from the far hillside. I’ll listen a spell, you can talk or not, I know you’ve carried what the world has brought. And even if we disagree, There’s still a place here next to me. Chorus Cross that bridge, take that stride, You don’t have to stay on the other side. Grass ain’t greener, but it’s real and true ... And no one here is better than you. Cross that bridge, it’s worth the try, Worst that happens is we see eye-to-eye. Cross that bridge .... good folks do… Buy me a beer and I’ll buy you one too. .......... ....... Bridge (gentle, reflective) Maybe it’s foolish, maybe it’s right, But life’s too short for one more fight. So drop your guard and your heavy load, We’ll find the middle of this twisting road. uh huh ... [Instrumental Breakdown] Final Chorus (bigger, warmer) Cross that bridge, take that stride, There’s a place for you on this side. You might find peace, or just a view ... Either way, I’ll walk with you. Cross that bridge, don’t wait long .... Two voices talking beat one alone. Cross that bridge .... ..yeah, come on through… Buy me a beer… and I’ll buy you one too. ohhhh yeah ...
