Lyrics

Verse 1 : Those bulldozing construction crews brought it to the ground
That old bridge that sheltered us when the rain came down
Growing up just down the road
They'll always be some memories that don't grow old

The filling station with old mike smiling at the pump
Now theres rented office space, signs and modern junk
Six foot corn grew in the fields
Nowadays theres condos, developement deals

Chorus: That covered bridge across the creek to arlenville
I can feel the mountain breeze
And hear the whippoorwill - still
We'd race past the general store
And climb our treehouse in the sycamore
Once there was a time before the outhouse and the icebox
Became a bathroom and a fridge
And home was just across that covered bridge

Verse 2: A new highway came rolling through, took my daddy's home
When he died I took that road on to San Antone
My heart's full but broken too
A tear comes to my eye, lost in the world I knew

Repeat Chorus

Bridge: Some might call this progress
To me it's feeling more like something less

Repeat Chorus

Tag: In dreams I'll always cross...that covered bridge
