Building Bridges

all i got's a rusty truck some dreams and my guitar out of all them three there isn't one that's gonna get me far the truck don't run the dreams are weak the guitar's out of tune the day just must get better it's only ten past noon i'm building bridges out of sand with water and some glue i'm building bridges that won't stand unless they're built with you i'm building bridges out of sand that may not last the night i'm building bridges out of sand and with you i'll build them right my roof is always leaking my boat won't stay afloat i'm tone deaf and i stutter i can not hold a note the truck has rusted floorboards they've rusted clear on through the thing that makes me keep it is it's where i first kissed you i'm building bridges out of sand with water and some glue i'm building bridges that won't stand unless they're built with you i'm building bridges out of sand that may not last the night i'm building bridges out of sand and with you i'll build them right with your voice there beside me a new truck and new guitar the dreams won't seem so distant we'll be closer to the stars a good and strong foundation and belief in what i dream with two hearts it is stronger with two hearts, we're a team i'm building bridges out of sand with water and some glue i'm building bridges that won't stand unless they're built with you i'm building bridges out of sand that may not last the night i'm building bridges out of sand and with you i'll build them right
