Don't you cross that bridge evil's on the other side
Don't you cross that bridge evil's on the other side
The righteous road is narrow but sorrow's where the road is wide
On the other side

On the path of a lifetime it's easy to backslide
Keep your eyes on the hilltop let your conscience be your guide
Don't you cross that bridge evil's on the other side
The righteous road is narrow but sorrow's where the road is wide
On the other side

If you'll lie you'll cheat if you'll cheat you'll steal
If you'll steal well I'm afraid you will kill
Don't cross that bridge evil's on the other side
The righteous road is narrow but sorrow's where the road is wide
On the other side
[ guitar - accordion ]
If you'll lie you'll cheat if you'll cheat you'll steal...

It's hard on this side but meaner on the other
We've got to make sure you don't go no further
Don't cross that bridge evil's on the other side
The righteous road is narrow but sorrow's where the road is wide
On the other side
