The Bridge Washed Out Songtext
von Warner Mack

Well the bridge washed out
I can′t swim and my baby's on the other side

When I awoke this morning
The rain was a-pouring down
I was gonna wade a little river, girl
Just over the bridge across town
Now I′m running up and down the river
And my nerves are driving me wild

'Cause the bridge washed out
I can't swim and my baby′s on the other side

Rain, old rain, stop a falling
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waiting
And the wedding bells are starting to chime
I can′t kiss and hold her
And its driving me out of my mind


'Cause the bridge washed out
I can′t swim and my baby's on the other side

Well, I got one foot in the water
And one foot solid on the ground
I′d try to swim this raging old river but I know if I try I'll drown
There′s not a boat around me
They've all gone out with the tide

And the bridge washed out
I can't swim and my baby′s on the other side

Rain, old rain, stop a falling
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waiting
And the wedding bells are starting to chime
I can′t kiss and hold her
And its driving me out of my mind

'Cause the bridge washed out
I can′t swim and my baby's on the other side

I said the bridge washed out
I can′t swim and my baby's on the other side
