Joe Bonamassa - Don't Burn Down That Bridge Lyrics






You got your mind set on leavin'
Drive down a one-way street
You're gonna lock up all the doors child
Throw away the key

Don't burn down that bridge darlin'
Just might want to come back
'Cuz the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Well you counted me out
'Fore I could get you back
Today I'm drivin' a Chevrolet darlin'
Tomorrow might be a Cadillac

Don't burn down that bridge darlin'
Just might want to come back
‘Cuz the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

All your so-called friends
Taught you how to cheat and lie
Now you say you're gonna jump honey
From the fryin' pan into the fire

Don't burn down that bridge darlin'
Just might want to come back
‘Cuz the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

  1. D.... C....

  2. l.... y....

  4. D.... G....

    Damn Joe know’s how to back up a bass player!!

  5. A.... M....

    That bass player is a BADASS!

  6. E.... B....

    That was saved to favorites! Guitar and bass combo. That reminds me of Red Barchetta from RUSH.
    Great song. Peace

  7. M.... F....

    best bass I have ever heard
    rock on

  8. R.... 8....

    I have seen Czar playing with Eric Gales and a few other great guitarists since they scratched this band. Best trio ever! Come on Joe, one more tour with Kenny and Eric!

  9. E.... S....

    A 12 nabos sordos no les gusta esta maravilla

  10. R.... W....

    I seen him in ft Myers 2 years ago great show 😎✌️

  11. C.... K....

    Wicked bass shred!

  12. e.... s....

    passionfull , like burning volcano ! Perfect

  13. A.... V....

    Eric Czar goes Primus LOL

  14. r.... t....

    Wow , Alwais Fantastik Song (y)

  15. G.... J....

    One he-lava trip..

  16. M.... F....

    OMG joe
    Kevin Shirley ruined you!

    this shit right here is what you have to do!!!!

  17. k.... ....

    ERIC CZAR ON THE BASS!!!

  18. g.... ....

    Instead of playing amazing grace, you are playing amazing Base and that is quite acceptable to me as a musician :)~to the base player ~and The rest of you know that you are super musicians as well! It's the combination of all your talents that makes this musical performance amazing .And to Heck to those that don't appreciate you all !

  19. C.... R....

    A get he's hired Michael roaheds to play with him but this guy is way better

  20. R.... 8....

    It is a given JB is a killer guitarist, but Czar is fucking amazing. First time I have seen this vid and that solo was and epic testament to what a power trio of this caliber is capable of doing. I would like to see these guys get together for another concert. JB's current band is outstanding, but I have to say this band is far better. Eric and Kenny are still out there doing their thing...it's possible.

  21. K.... W....

    Na a basszusszóló igazán megfogott!

  22. M.... ....

    Joe-always excellent, bass guitarist(Eric Czar)way way way too good, I love it. Drummer, right up with the bass player(Kenny Kramme)super players one and all. I love this band like this. Even better in my opinion than Black Country Communion. Eric Czar kicks ass.

    M.... ....

    Yeah, I agree with you, it was very energetic, but I think they're going in a different direction, and want the spotlight to be on Joe most of the time, that's why they're not around Joe anymore. I think that's the reason Arlan Schierbaum isn't with him anymore either.

    M.... ....

    Yeah, Joe looks younger in this vid, like this was maybe 3-4 years ago. And I believe you're right about centering around Joe, actually as it should be. He's a great guitarist period. He deserves his own band that stays out of the light so he can shine more. BUT! He also goes and does this Black Country Communion thing, which is really, really good, but I think, if I had my way about it, I would have him do this thing instead, as a side project. In my honest, humble opinion it is better. More exciting, to me. Just to me.

    M.... ....

    This is footage from 2001., 16 years ago, quite a few line ups changed since then. Now it's more about Nashville/Hall of Fame lineup.

    M.... ....

    @Drachot Oh, ok, got it. Still really good band. The old guy keyboard player is really good and the drummer also. Oh yeah, I also like the Hammond B3 player.

  23. c.... ....

    joe's come a long way from dancing girls and strobe lights.

    c.... ....

    He needs to go back...

  24. D.... G....

    Anyone know who the drummer is on this clip?...

    D.... G....

    This was one of the best power trios ever - Joe Bonamassa guitar/vocals, Eric Czar bass, Kenny Kramme drums.

  25. T.... ....

    Man I really want to learn the solo on bass here...

  26. T.... L....

    THAT LAST RIFF AT 6:54 IS FUCKING AWESOME !!

  27. D.... H....

    Joe gave the stage to the bass-man and the Universe gave Joe that last riff--that's positive sum playing.

  28. b.... ....

    I do believe it's a true testament of talent when Joe bonamassa steps to the side and let's someone go for it. I like his current bassist but this guy is freakin amazing. Ib a side note this song has one of the best solos ever.

    b.... ....

    @bsdraven I thought Jaco Pastorius had come back to life....wow

  29. A.... S....

    Gone all warm.  Letting the dogs out.  Gonna Howl with them i think.  blimey!

  30. A.... S....

    Building bridges  :D

    A.... S....

    Always here...

  31. G.... K....

    Don't Burn Down That Bridge!!!!

    G.... K....

    I'm kinda' going through some bad time myself. It's probably more me. Like I said Dude sorry!!!! I've been in a lot of pain for the last several months and at times I can't keep it all together. I'll take the hit on this one. Hey anytime I can help you let me know.

    G.... K....

    I do, when it comes to music my friend, play what your heart tells you to play!! We all go through changes, as musicians we're know to be moody, it's one of our things!!!! I've been in a lot of different venues. at one time I thought there was only one type of music, as I got older I found out what music really is. It is a sharing of what your heart tells you to play. Hey Man a good song is a good song. Life is a song, no matter what happens, there's a song in there somewhere. Learn how to express what your heart tells you. And by the way I shared a part of my life that i haven't told anyone else. (the pain). Let's keep that between You and I.

    G.... K....

    @Jason Harris OOPS, I was going through email, I don't think most people will open all the post. Hey!!!! Stupid me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    G.... K....

    What have you written My Friend????? Now you have sparked my interest!!!!!!!!

  32. R.... L....

    +++++++------} Love when Joe gets his iron rock panty's on! Rock On!!!!!!!

  35. B.... B....

    damn even the loose shit is clinically perfect.......

  36. D.... S....

    KICKS BUTT!!! Man, your voice has great timbre. Your bassist is amazing! I love to hear it be played like a lead guitar, but heavily, like that.  

  37. a.... ....

    Was this video sponsored by Philip Morris or something? Cigarettes on stage = huge turnoff.

    a.... ....

    Seriously? so you dislike every gig before the 2000's?

    a.... ....

    Who cares? It's THIS gig from the 2000s where it looks disgusting. The bass player stopping a solo to light up? What a hack poser, no wonder his ass got fired.

    a.... ....

    @abnzg Shut the fuck up man ,Eric Czar is master , he can do anything he wants , and you can only sit behind your computer and talking about what is , and what isn't right !  

    a.... ....

    abzng, you must be soooo rock n' roll

    a.... ....

    @abnzg I think it looks pretty boss

  45. R.... �....

    It doesn't have active pickups. It's a Eric Clapton signature with normal passive single coils.

    R.... �....

    Sorry, can you guys explain?  My son's the electric guitarist in the family, I thought all electric guitars had pick ups???

  46. D.... ....

    Couldn't imagine Joe playing a guitar with active pickups today...

    D.... ....

    They're stock Lace Sensor Golds - plain old passive single coil pickups.

  47. J.... R....

    Saw JB in Roanoke last week. It was awesome! This song kicks it!
