Bridge Included (dot CA)

[Verse 1] Down by the Wasi where the tamaracks lean, Dad left a toolbox, a map and a dream. Acres and stories on either side, But the river between us ran cold and wide. [Chorus] Bridge included — that’s the promise I made, Steel bones waiting in the grass and shade. If you’re buying the dirt and the road I drew, Bridge included — I’ll carry you through. [Verse 2] Shop lights glowing on a frosty night, Duplex windows throwing warm yellow light. Papers say “ready,” but no rock’s been moved, Unopened pit with a future to prove. [Chorus] Bridge included — that’s the promise I made, Steel bones waiting in the grass and shade. If you’re buying the dirt and the road I drew, Bridge included — I’ll carry you through. [Fiddle Break — 8 bars] [Verse 3] Found a sleeping giant, rail-grade and true, Seventy feet of work left to do. Measure twice, mark lines in the snow, Set her on footings and watch dreams grow. [Chorus] Bridge included — that’s the promise I made, Steel bones waiting in the grass and shade. If you’re buying the dirt and the road I drew, Bridge included — I’ll carry you through. [Chorus — tag last line] Bridge included — I’ll carry you through. [Outro — banjo tag]
