merle haggard
too many bridges to cross over
Be close to me but please don't ever love me Don't let your feelings carry you that far I'll hold you in my arms, buy you clothes and pretty charms And I'll give you everything except my love  Because there's too many bridges to cross over Too many places I ain't been Yeah, there's too many fields of tempting clover Like an eagle, I'm a prisoner of the wind  Well traveling was the nickname of my papa And mama said he died 'cause he slowed down Keep in mine these things I'm saying 'Cause I ain't got the time to staying Won't be long until my shoes touch distant ground  Because there's too many bridges to cross over Too many places I ain't been Yeah, there's too many fields of tempting clover Like an eagle, I'm a prisoner of the wind
