Hello Miss Heartbroke Sit your sweet self down It's good to see your dancin' feet back out on the town Rumor has it you've had trouble with your man I've had trouble of my own, I think I understand [Chorus] We'll put out your old flame We'll build a bigger fire I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher And if his memory comes around And you think you still care We'll burn that bridge when we get there Come on let your hair down we'll have us a time He had his chance with you now all I want is mine Give me half an hour or just a dance or two And you'll forget old what's his name and how he walked out on you [Chorus: x2] We'll burn that bridge when we get there Burn it down baby
