Burning Bridges Lyrics

Excellent song. Seems it's about leaving the past behind or maybe just simple river boat travel??

a long, long time ago i read that some members of the band read a book about (or written by) one of the usaf airmen who carried and dropped one of the nuclear bombs on japan (hiroshima or negasaki) the book described the terrible guilt the crew felt about the mission. this song (or at least the lyrics) was inspired by that book.
