Burn your bridges baby
Take your care right out of my  hands
You'll have to swim some deep ol' rivers if ya
Ever change your plans

Chase that misty rainbow
Until you find a pot of gold
But when the gold is gone, and the winter comes on
Those crazy ain't gonna keep out the cold

You've been lookin' at the grass that's greener
On the far side of the hill
Thinkin' maybe there you'll find the answers
But girl ya never will

You took a good man for his love and kindness
And ya spent it all on yourself
Someday you'll open your eyes
And maybe you'll realize
You put some mighty precious things on the shelf

You build your dream world out of sand
When the rain comes down lady, it won't stand
I can already see those storm clouds rollin' in
Can't you see don't you understand
If you're gonna dance that dance you've gtotta pay the band
When you're playin' a losers game you never win

So have yourself a time girl
And live a lifetime each day if you can
You'll soon be learnin' a lesson 'bout burnin'
The candle at both ends

Well don't go look for tomorrow
 And don't go lookin' round for ol' yesterday
And when you finally see, don't come lookin' for me
'Cause  I'll be lookin' out the other way
 

You build your dream world out of sand
When the rain comes down lady, it won't stand
I can already see those storm clouds rollin' in
Can't you see don't you understand
If you're gonna dance that dance you've gtotta pay the band
When you're playin' a losers game you never win

When you're playin' a losers game you never win
