Got no hope
Got no pride
Heard no truth
In all my life
Ain't no justice
Ain't no use
Tired and hungry
Burned up fuse

Swore to God
Made the stand
Made a promise
If I could
I would lend a helping hand

And you better be ready
There's another bridge to cross
Better get this thing together
Better nail it while it's hot
You better be ready
There's another bridge to cross
And it ain't over
'Til you reach
The other side

Made in heaven
Mercy sakes
More religion
Is what it takes
It ain't easy
Troubled times
Fear and panic
In people's lives

Bums and banners
Shimmers and shakes
Trigger fingers
Gotta get them rattlesnakes

And you better be ready
There's another bridge to cross
Better get this thing together
Better nail it while it's hot
You better be ready
There's another bridge to cross
And it ain't over
'Til you reach
The other side

Now the river bed is dried up
The dust is coming down
You had the last
Fair deal
And you're still twenty miles from town

And you better be ready
There's another bridge to cross
Better get this thing together
Better nail it while it's hot
You better be ready
There's another bridge to cross
And it ain't over
'Til you reach
The other side
Well it ain't over
'Til you reach
The other side
Yeah
And it ain't over
'Til you reach
The other side
