Under The Bridge Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I lost my job in Saginaw working on the railroad 

After twenty years they just put me on the side 

Now I'm hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat 

And nothin' but an empty dream to ride 

But under the bridge, I can make believe I'm living in a castle 

Under the bridge, my baby and me 

And I can pretend that I'm a king and this is my kingdom 

Under the bridge making believe 

Hey, the doors are always open to any old weary traveler 

And you'll find some great grub feedin' here below 

Any old bridge can be a palace, call it what you want to 

It's a place to be when you got no place to go 

Under the bridge, I can make believe I'm living in a castle 

Under the bridge, my baby and me 

And I can pretend I'm a king, this is my kingdom 

Under the bridge making believe 

Hey, under the bridge making believe
