Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like shit
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do, I don't, whatever
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see, show's over, people, just move along
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care

The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue". - This refers to a crossroads you've come to. There are two ways over the river and you can only take one. One is going to collapse easy, the other is the high road. She chooses to drag him down the rickety bridge with her and he tries to chase her and keep her back until he realizes he can't do a thing about it.
I'd analyze the rest of the song and whatnot if I didn't feel like listening to it! ;)...311 rocks the pants off your grandma!
I agree with everyone's interpretations & I think they were said very well. I also think this song's about just going nuts and you wish bad things on people and you hate it and feel guilty about it but some people really suck. "Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two" ..sometimes you just to fuck things up. Hope this makes sense!
