I'm bound for the place That Iused to dream of My yellow old shoes Will point to the goal A blow in the wind Puts a smile on her face Hand this letter to the girl To the girl in the blue "I never should've loved you but I want you to know Long story short, I'm happy for you There'll always be a bridge that takes you straight to my soul Long story short, I will be waiting for you" On Friday nights We would stay up all night Playing those 7 dollar bets And I would lose all my pay This old red ship Sinking into the sea By the time you read this through I'll be gone from you I never should've loved you but I want you to know Long story short, I'm happy for you There'll always be a bridge that takes you straight to my soul Long story short, I will be waiting for you I'm calling on you Avoiding the truth If you ever need a shoulder then just give me a call Hand in hand, I'll always be there for you If only stars above could make this fear go away Then I'd ask you to, Forget all the people around you I never should've loved you but I want you to know Long story short, I'm happy for you There'll always be a bridge that takes you straight to my soul Long story short, I will be waiting for you I'm calling on you Avoiding the truth
