You should've seen the look in her eyes

she jumped to her feet and said,
"Lord have mercy on me!"

to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame.

She told of gossip and church disention,
but the thing that got the most attention
is when she talked about her love life
then she started naming names!

HE WALKED INTO THE BAR AND PLACED HIS LANKY FRAME UPON A TALL BAR STOOL
AND WITH A LONG SOFT SOUTHERN DRAWL HE SAID I'LL TAKE A GLASS OF ANYTHING
THAT'S COOL
A BAR-ROOM GIRL WITH WISE AND KNOWING EYES SLOWLY LOOKED HIM UP AND DOWN
AND SHE THOUGHT I WONDER HOW ON EARTH THIS COUNTRY BUMPKIN FOUND HIS WAY
TO TOWN

(CHORUS 1)
SHE SAID HELLO COUNTRY BUMPKIN. HOW'S THE FROST OUT ON THE PUMPKIN
I'VE SEEN SOME SIGHTS BUT MAN YOU'RE SOMETHIN'
WHERE'D YOU COME FROM COUNTRY BUMPKIN

I never heard Games People Play by The Spinners. I always heard the one by Joe South.

Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Burning bridges lost forevermore

I don't know who sang that, but isn't it the song from Kelly's Heroes?

When I was a child my family would travel,
Down to western Kentucky, where my parents were born,
To a backwards old town, thats often remembered,
So many times that my memories are worn.

Correct! Kelly's Heroes- a all time favorite of mine- excellent movie-

and a great song always good to remember when you're looking for a new job or changing a relationship... those bridge burnings and such...

Burning Bridges Left Behind- Mike Curb Congregation Band
