Well it's been a long time
  Since I learned about the bridge
  I try sneaking by
  But it's my feelings that I pay with
  Tired of giving, tired of caring
  On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way
  Some may try to slide right by
  Thinking life's just a free ride
  I wanted everything for free
  But I know it will never be
  Have no money to pay with
  And it seems that the bridge is closed
  Humble feelings, eating crow
  Better try another road
  You have got to show control
  There's so much you've got to know
  As I cross the bridge I watch my step
  "Better get out of here"
  Gotta pay my dues, wanna earn respect
  Next time I hope that they don't refuse
