This is a story about a high school friend of Dean's. I've seen them live three times. The time they played this song, Dean sang for a change.. He also sings on The Blarney Stone and a few others.
As an intro to the song, Dean said it was about a friend who screwed him over. If I remember correctly, his friend got caught selling. His friend's father found out, so the friend blamed it on Dean. The friend went off to college while Dean worked at a gas station, partially due to taking the fall. A bit later, his former friend came to him, desperate for help. Why? I don't remember. But he said Sorry Charlie, you've burnt that bridge.
So essentially, this song is about how bridges once burnt are no longer crossable.
