The Bridge Washed Out Lyrics

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

When I awoke this a morning the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl
Just over the bridge across town
Now I'm a runnin' up and down the river
And my nerves're drivin' me wild

Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride're waitin' and the weddin' bells're startin' to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind

Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side [Break]

Now I got one foot in the water the one foot solid on the ground
I try to swim that ragin' old river but I know if I try I'd drown
There's not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide

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

Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride're waitin'
And the weddin' bells're startin' to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind

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